lol I dunno if I wanna send "a clear photo of you"


Use a profile picture that's already public and have been crawled a bajillion times. E.g. https://twitter.com/jbverschoor/photo


Not op, but I make a point of not having my face in profile pictures.


The next request is your government-issued ID :-)


I'm not sure if you're joking, but I've seen some companies actually asking you to send a passport or driving licence copy.


Not a joke.
