Evening

I've got a car up for sale and received an email from which I now know to be a scammer .

The first email just read "hi is your car still up for sale". So I responded as you would.

Then I received an email about paypal etc which I then realised it was a scam. Possibly foolishly I rep

lied something along the lines of send £30000000 mooonies, I sent no personal information of course and as They had allready responded I thought what the hell.

Now it's jut nagging a little bit. Is there anything they can do with my email address.

It was sent from my iPhone of the makes any difference.

Thanks. Probably nothing I know.

Not really. They could target you, try and use your email address to break into your online accounts on things like amazon and that. But it's not worth their effort since you have really good passwords, unique to each site, right?

Really. These people aren't into victimising individuals. They're running a business and if someone twigs they drop them and move onto the next sucker.
