The first time I received the email, I ignored it. Then I received it again, and I replyed with name and address. I did search for a scam and was very sceptical. However, I did send that information. That is all I have given them so far - howver there is so much that internet scammers can do with that information - I am really nervous. What did I do??? What can I do now to save my belongings?
