Online Assessment Company asking or photo id?

I just received an email to proceed with an online assessment for a bank located in London. After fulfilling the my basic information, the OA platform asked for an official ID submisison. 

Does this make sense? Any similar experience you had? 

This is my first time noticing such a thing and it seems scammish/sketchy

Im pretty sure you clicked on some phishing link and its asking to upload ID.  Otherwise, dont do it — even if its legit.  I dont get why a third party firm needs to save your government ID, which can be used for fraudulent activities. 

 
  1. It was a job posting of 900k followers bank in its linkedin account
  2. I applied at 19.16 and received the OA at 21.17

    Of course, I paused the process after asking for my ID

    How is this the timing of this phising so accurate?
