Reply:Well, let's see here - what can a spammer do with your personal information? They will sell it to someone who will: Clean out your bank account. Use your charge charges to the maximum. Ruin your credit. Steal your identity. Those will do to start with.





The Nigerian email scam has been going on for years. I am continually amazed at the people who come in here and ask this question. Where in the world have you been that you never received one of these before?
Reply:Try it and see!........No actually, would you trust a banker who picked you at random to help steal millions that were in his care? He is as much as admitting he is a crook, and insulting you with the sugguestion that you would be the perfect helper in this scheme. If you go along then you are the perfect helper


STUPID and GREEDY, or one he can con.
Reply:The Advance Fee Fraud scammers want your personal details to gauge your gullibility. If you're willing to give your personal details to some stranger via e-mail, then you just might wire that stranger some money for various "fees" that are required to release the funds that you allegedly have waiting for you.





Oh - and the scammer might also give you a telephone call. Many of them like to call potential victims - makes the victims more trusting, usually.





Every now and then, identity theft might be a problem. But you would have to give out something more personal than your name, home address, and telephone number to have that happen. That sort of information is available to anybody with a phone book or Google, really.
