I answered to yahoo internet lottery?


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... :(


more details:
the truth is that in my country you can't draw any money from any account nor gain any loans without showing your id.
Moreover, here we don't have any security numbers and i don't have any credit cards.

NEVER EVER give ANY INFORMATION as a reply to an email !! With the information you gave you could be looking at identity theft, anything from bank accounts to being billed for long distance on your phone. The next email you will get from them will be asking for $$ to process your winnings. These emails are scams that try and get you to send them $$ so that they can process and send your winnings. The best thing to do with them is to delete them, but I play games with them by sending fake information and asking them to let me borrow the $$ they ask for. I usually don;t get any replies after I ask to borrow the $$. LOL

You gave out enough information that you should probably be taking extra steps to prevent your identity from being stolen, assuming it hasn't been already. (i.e. calling your bank, relevant government departments, etc. etc.) Identity theft is enough of a problem nowadays that corporations that rely to some degree on trust (Yahoo!, for example) make a point of not asking their customers to divulge personal information over email or the internet. Any message you receive that *does* ask you for such information should be treated with extreme suspicion.

did you enter any contests?

don't give out so much info, I would make a phone call or two to my accounts to make sure you are not in an identity theft fraud. Let your account holders know so you don't end up losing everything.

Who knows maybe you did win, I hope so!

    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.
