See how this journalist trolled an email scammer using the famous action film character
The email scammer by name Richard Hummel was trying to get this journalist’s passport for ‘’business” purpose.
Billinson was being asked for a copy of his passport for “Business’’ reasons by the scammer.
Billinson aware of the scam about to be pulled, sends him a mimic passport of the popular Jason Bourne character from the popular "Bourne" film series played by famous actor Matt Damon.
The interesting part of this is that this was a picture of the real Matt Damon who had the name on the passport as Jason Bourne.

For those who haven’t watched the action series “Jason Bourne”, the film is centered on a Damon’s character, a killer who in search of his real identity goes through his safety deposit box at the Swiss Bank, and finds several passports. The first US passport he opens has the name Jason Bourne, which he assumes thereafter.
This prank pulled by Billinson definitely pissed off the scammer Hummel, who then sends this mail saying he can no longer do business with Billinson.
Obviously the scammer has watched the popular Jason Bourne series, and knows he is being trolled.
"I DO NOT THINK THAT I WILL CONTINUE THE BUSINESS WITH YOU BECAUSE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS FALSE, I AM SORRY I DO NOT TRUST YOU IN THIS BUSINESS." he replied Billinson.

Still continuing his trolling, Billinson asks if they can still be friends, to which the scammer Hummel says yes.
Followers of the journalist on Twitter were richly entertained, and suggested other popular passport aliases he could use next time.
