Yeah, I’ve been getting that a lot myself. They’ll ask to see me, I’ll say sure & of course you understand I screen all new “friends”, give them a (very generous) list of things they can pick from, then they say they’ll need MY DL, Linked In, etc etc to verify me.
My bonafides aren’t in question here, Sparky, yours are. Google my #? That 1st page is nothing but me. Me, me, me. So you can’t ask if I’m “real”🙄.
There’s no quid pro quo here & I find it hilarious that they think it’s a bargaining chip.
Him: “I won’t see you w/o that information.”
Me: “As you like. Goodbye.”
Invariably, INVARIABLY! 2 hours later they’re back with the required info.
