    Fake Id I Used To Bait Out Address And Bank Info

    Pennsylvania driver's license for Dwight Kurt Schrute with personal details on a wooden surface, illustrating scammers destroyed.

    Got an email from “The Illuminati” asking me to buy a membership card. Using the Dwight persona, I managed to bait out a name and address in Massachusetts, as well as one bank account’s information. This has all been forwarded to the authorities. I frustrated the scammers greatly by consistently failing to complete their payment instructions. They gave up in anger after seeing screenshots of me “redeeming” $1,250 worth of Steam gift cards.
