Photocopies, scans or photos of a licence are not accepted.
The same applies to a Passport.

Your comment applies to honest people however the scammers have their contacts who will aid & abet them in Identity fraud.
I can see where BPXR6T is coming from so caution should always err on the safe side as identity theft is more rampant than what you think.
My late brother was victim to identity fraud and what a nightmare he had for 3 years to sort the crap out.

If I was to buy anything unseen interstate or overseas I would recommend a bona fide agent as the middle man for a safe sale transaction.
