I know it was too stupid of me but I was misleaded cause some collegues of mine frwded e-mail, competition of microsoft etc etc in which they mentioned it is not fraud, and yesterday I received a winning notification. I admit I fell for it because of the former comments of my collegues. And I sent a reply with some personal details ( no credit cards, no financial stuff, just address name tel.nr). Then I visited a site explaining internet fraud and immediately spammed the e-mails. But they still have my id… and they answered they would sent me by courier some sort of cheque. God…do you think it’s too late now to escape? Had any of u similar experience? Plz..I’ve been such a fool!
I filled a form they requested containing full name, address, tel nr, sex, country. I didn’t give any banking information/details or credit cards

peaceman asked:


we received an e-mail solicitation regarding a scam to secure funds for a foreign firm - we of course did not respond -
the yahoo e-mail id is: samuel.moyo@yahoo.com
does anyone think that yahoo should be responsible for finding the origin of this id, stopping these thieves, and providing a safe medium for those of us that do NOT try to scam other users!
does yahoo have an e-mail that we could forward this disturbing
bit of fraud and the corresponding originating information?

I get lot of e-mails from Junks and Fraud Lottery people. How they get our e-mail address?
Is the big groups like Yahoo or Hotmail or Gmail gives our address to them?
I am really wondering about this. Please let me know-Thanks
