Hi lucky,

thank you for posting this warning.
The passport is probably fake.Even though, we do not recommend to post passports as you received them: Scammers will find them and use them for their next scam. If it is not too much trouble, could you mark the passport scan with a big "FAKE"? We don't want to make the criminals' job easier. :twisted:

Thanks!
