Some years ago, the HR dept wanted a new hire to provide his passport to
prove he had the right visa to work here.
He was OK as a contractor, but when we offered him a perm role, they wanted
more.
That was easy, he just brought in the passport and went up to see them.
I would scan the passport
My wife yesterday had our insurance company randomly call asking to change
details. Told them there is no way she is giving them info to some random
call with no heads up.

Similar to you, I had my Pension Provider call me up, when I explained to them
that I did not KNOW who they were and was not prepared to discuss things with
then they came up with a way to prove themselves, I have had many people call
me claiming they are so and so and wanting me to prove who
So many options, so confused haha

Worse case scenario you ask them if it’s ok you black out the sensitive
info on the passport before sending like the DOB and passport number. I
assume they just want to see your name and photo on an Aussie passport.

The better ones have started to use voice prints. If they call you, they can
then have additional verification that it’s you.
Otherwise, if they call me, and then want to verify details, that’s always
“no”. Large percentage of the time, they just want to sell you something
associated
Is it for a cyber security role? If yes, then it's a test.

It's a tough one. I had an argument with a loan company who called me and
asked me to verify with them so they could access my account details. I
said no way, because they called me. They argued with me, patronised me,
and wore me down. I said the previous time they called me they let me call
them

Zip and PGP won’t solve the problem of where the info may end up after the
recipient receives
I’ve used this in the past:

Good luck convincing them though. They want what is easy.

Hi folks
I’ve been verbally offered a contracting role by a recruiter and the
employer has requested a photo of my passport via email. I do not feel
comfortable sending this for a few reasons, email is not secure, who knows
what they will do with the photo like forwarding it, etc.
How do you all
