Would you be concerned at all ?

In this day and age of identity theft this piques my curiosity just a little bit. I had been talking with a gentleman and did some work for him, about $100 worth over the weekend. He stated he couldn't have me doing anything else until an NDA was signed, but had plenty of steady work once it was sent in, he also mentioned he wanted my D.O.B. etc.. Then the weird thing, he asked for my I.D. as well - which I guess isn't all that weird, but.. I have signed about 15 NDA's over the years and NEVER asked for an ID before. Even though 2/3rds were people I had known for years.

So he says he didn't get it at first, I re faxed it - He got it that time, since then not one message was sent and he has been off-line for three days. He used to be on-line every day for over a week in a row, guessing invisible mode.

I sent a message and said If you don't have any work, don't worry just give me a shout so I know what's up. Still, no word 2 days after that - the last message I sent. Normally I wouldn't be concerned but after some fuckwad posted my bank information on a public message baord it made me realize how easy identity theft would be ...
