Be so careful what info you give out. I fell for an email scam about 7 years ago. I ended up having to cancel my checking account, ATM cards, all credit cards. Do you know how hard it is to get money out of your account with ID that has a hold on it? My money was direct diposited from work and no way to get to it. I could use bill pay to pay my bills, but no money for groceries, gas, etc. It took 3 weeks to get new ATM card, 2 weeks to get new checks, (no one likes to accept starter checks), all my credit cards took 3-4 weeks. I also put my name on the list at the 3 major credit bureaus. They had to personally call me if someone tried to open an account in my name. I must say that Sears is the most through.
Beware of scammers. Call and talk to the people wanting information personally. Never click on links to something. YOU type in the address bar the web address that you need to go to. It takes so long to repair the damage done in such a short while.
