Enough Info for ID theft?
The key to financial power lies in your credit rating. If you plan to get a home loan, save money and get better credit starting now!
I received an OBVIOUSLY fraudster email supposedly from the government of Nigeria and DID NOT respond to it, claiming they would give me an ATM card with $800,000 in my name (of course they will) *all* they wanted was my.
1.YOUR FULL NAME:
2.PHONE NUMBER/FAX NUMBER:
3.ADDRESS TO SEND THE ATM CARD (P.O BOX NOT ACCEPTED)
4.YOUR AGE AND NATIONALITY:
5.OCCUPATION:
6.GENDER:
These things could be found rather easily by any one one who wants to spend a day or so of detective work, can this little bit be enough to apply for a credit card or a loan in my name?
Enough Info for ID theft?This is 'baiting the hook' to see if you have read the email and are gullible enough to respond with actual information. Once you take the bait, no doubt you will be required to send additional information, such as banking or credit account information or other personal information before they can complete the transaction or whatever. Just delete the message. Don't worry, you'll get more.
Enough Info for ID theft?yes, sadly, it is....remember, most criminals are lazy so why go looking for something when there are enough people who are willing to give you that information?
Enough Info for ID theft?With a small fee they can even find out your ss number on the net. I wouldn't give them anything. But yes with the information they can apply for virtually anything (not saying that the attempt would be successful but an attempt just them same.) You have to remember that most of these emails are generated from 3 world countries like Africa etc. They don't require all the same information as the US does. If you would like to report it then you can send a sopy of the email to Interpol. If it is in Canada than you can send it to their Better Business Bureau. One reason why they don't allow a PO Box is because they need an actual address for whatever they are trying to scam you for on different types of applications. The FTC.org usually has a list of the most recent scams that are circulating and can describe to you what some of the information gain from you is used for. I usually send them an email back saying if they have so much money then they can bring theselves to America ans take are of it themself.
