I answered to yahoo internet lottery :(....help?


i received a mail in my msn account where they told me that my mail ID won a prize in the yahoo inernet lottery and i answered them....
The information i gave were :
1. FULL NAME
2. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
3. PRESENT ADDRESS.
4. DATE OF BIRTH
5. OCCUPATION
6. TELEPHONE NUMBER ( i gave them my cell phone number)
7. MARITAL STATUS
8. AGE
9. SEX
10. WINNING NUMBER, BATCH NUMBER AND LOTTO NUMBER. (those were given by them)
11. AMOUNT WON
12. PRIZE I WON FOR WHICH MONTH

will i have any trouble? plz help me!

Now, i know that if they send me a second mail wanting more information i'm gonna ignore them, but plz tell me, with the info i gave them, i won't have any trouble right?

p.s. sometimes i think i'm sooo stupid... :(

the truth is that in my country you can't draw any money from any account nor gain any loans without showing your id

I don't think they can't do anything with the given info. Just don't give them any more info, and ignore them. But just to be safe, keep a close eye on your financial statements.

Just dont give them any more information and remember we all make mistakes I would watch all personal credit information now that they have some of private information they could do indentity theft very easily I would look into getting insurance for that.

Be very aware of all of your financial and personal business. Put a watch (alert) on all transactions.
For the future remember; There is no such thing as "A free lunch"

For future reference if you're using your yahoo account there will be something in the "From: " field called "Yahoo! DomainKeys " It will either confirm that it is really from the supposed sender or not. It doesn't happen on on emails, but it will for more prolific names. Their own mail happens to be one of those.

I'm pretty certain you got duped. I too would advice watching your bank info like a hawk. You really opened yourself up to identity theft with that one! (Almost all of us have fallen for something like that at one point or another. For me it was signing up with a rather shady sounding survey group, but that wasn't through email.)

Best of luck to you!

You defined yourself - you're sooooo stupid. Why on earth would you give that kind of information to someone asking in an email? NO legitimate lottery or sweepstakes would notify you by email. NO ONE! That should have been your first clue that this is a total scam. If you're in the U.S., that's the beginning of identity theft. Hope that doesn't happen to you, but it certainly could, with all the info you gave them.
