suspicious email

[scoopd]

Just had a suspicious email that was asking about availability for a date and also for personal details about me and was just wondering if anyone else has had one like this in the last few days?

[wensleydale]

what kind of personal details?

[Corabar Steve]

Sounds like a "Nigerian" type spam

They were asking for a home phone number and address, which I can understand
but there were a couple of other aspects that I found a little iffy.
I was just curious to see if anyone else had emails of this ilk in the last
few days.

I guess you just have to use your instincts these days about divulging
personal info before you know the client is genuine

Apart from enquiring where you are based loosely--people dont ask much else about your personal details--

Are we talking bank account numbers here--you havent really told us anything about the "other aspects"
