Not only that, but both posts came from the same ISP (Telewest/Blueyonder).

No kidding. Emailing it to yourself is free, and your information will be
hidden among millions of boring emails that nobody wants to look through
(name the scan of your passport "baby pictures" and I guarantee that even
the most hardened online bad guy will give it a wide berth).
On the other hand, if you use this spammer's site, you have to pay a
subscription fee, and then your private information goes into a collection
solely composed of people's precious private information, which makes a
juicy target for the crooks. Since nobody has ever heard of the site's
developers, we have no particular reason to believe they are any good at
security (leaving aside questions of whether it is even their intention to
provide security).
I really think someone would have to be quite remarkably stupid to use it.

If that is the only condition, then they have hit on a sure-fire
