    “Carrying a World Passport enables you to identify yourself as an individual…”

    And it does literally nothing else.

    “Although the World Passport has been recognized by most countries previously, there is no guarantee…”

    Uhhh, yeah, I recognize that. It’s bullshit. Guaranteed.

    “The wealthiest countries, especially those in North America and Western Europe, are the most restrictive and may reject your claim of your right to travel, in violation of their human rights obligations.”

    None of us have been stupid enough to try using this in a 3rd world country.

    “…the fees are non-refundable.”

    Yeah, that tracks.

      I think you did the quotes backwards. All your replies are greyed out like you quoted from the website and the stuff you quoted from the website is the normal color of typing in a post.

        They’re quoting the scammer in a pretend conversation where the scammer reads their own website rules and provides subtext for the terms.

      My favorite part is that they check a box that says they live within the USA. How can you be a citizen of the world and live in the USA at the same time? 😂

      You’d have to identify your property as “not part of the US”

    Firstly, of course they’re not paying child support, because being a sovcit requires you to be an insufferable asshole first obviously.

    Secondly, I mean, I don’t condone shady businesses practices or grifting. But man, whoever running that is an absolute genius. Scammer for sure, and while I hate scammers to my very core, something about scamming these people in particular feels so very poetic. Someone should maybe tell them, but man… this is funny.

      A shocking amount of sovcits seem to get into the deranged world of sovshit strictly because they want to escape child support. I’d be curious to see some data on that, because it’s gotta be like 40-50% of their gateways.

        it’s slightly tempting to set up a service that scams them and then gives the money to their estranged previous partner.

                  I think it was far north? White woman, had the “private” plates and everything.

                  There was also a Maori lady in Auckland who was refusing to pay her rates, saying Auckland council didn’t have jurisdiction or something.

                  That was our very own flavour of SovCit.

        Lol “the open roads in America”.

        They’re not naturally occuring. Someone owns them (whether private or state) and to use their property, you have to respect their terms. Else I could just walk in your house and start using your kitchen, “It’s cool, I’m sovereign so your rules don’t apply to me.”

      I’m surprised crypto currency is not very popular with sovcits. It seems like something that aligns with their desire for lack of regulation.

    I wonder why they don’t accept a letter signed with a 45 degrees slanted signature, verified by a thumbprint in red ink and accompanied by a silver coin for payment. I mean, you can even get a premium gold-embossed passport so it’s not like we are talking about scammers preying on the uninformed and weak of mind, right? Right?

    This reminds me that I was following a crazy guy on LinkedIn who was into MAGA (despite being British) and every conspiracy theory going, and he said at one point he was a “Sovereign Citizen Of The World”. Didn’t think anything of it at the time, but he was managing to move around between countries so I guess he didn’t throw away his real passport yet.
