I can only say that, in the 15 months that I've had my Kindle, nothing like that has ever happened to me.

I can't imagine anyone agreeing to send a photocopy of a passport in those circumstances. In any case, how does your passport prove what country you are resident in, or whether your are travelling overseas? The only thing a passport shows is your nationality.
