Here is the passport pic he sent me:    http://imgur.com/a/5ailt

I googled "israeli passport" and the samples i found on wikipedia and the web shows passports with photos with a white background. I then googled further to check what kind of photo one must have to apply for an israeli passport and the Israeli passport authorities say it should be WHITE! I know 100% that EU countries are super strict with ID photo specifications and so it is strange to see an passport with a photo of someone with background looking like a living room or office.

I immediately called Deutsche Bank and asked them to put a stop on the transfer of 834 Euros to his account in Greece. I did this when I found more incriminating info here:

Please be careful, everyone out there.
