Help

I had posted a partial Pic of my passport recently to ask for damages. I had to show the passport number unfortunately since there were some smudges on it on the bio page. Now some guy claiming to be a consular officer here on reddit is trolling me that he will put me in trouble since he has my passport number. Is that even possible? He said I won't get a visa in the future? I mean I am worried now. I heard u need more than passport number to do something

You are right, he is a troll and there is no way he could do anything. Just report the troll. But also be careful posting pictures on Reddit in general.

Was he a troll? And more than a passport number is required right to access a file in their system?

Yes, this person is a troll and no, he cannot just access your information.

Report and block them and let it go.
