i have sent my scanned passport as a pdf file on the scam email IDs ([email protected] ,[email protected]). please help me as soon as possible thanks
I've done a quick bit of research, but I can't find anything definitive about the email address other than it certainly doesn't belong to the millionaire banker, J Eric Daniels.
It seems that you already know it's a scam, which is good. It also looks like you haven't sent any money, which is better. Now, there's nothing you can do now you've sent him your passport scan, but that doesn't mean you are in any form of trouble.
Scammers usually ask for the scan to 1. sound official, 2. check you're compliant, and 3. gain a new material to send to other victims. There is the slightest chance that they might try to perform some kind of identity theft, but that is very unlikely. They would most likely need a lot more info that that to do you any real damage, but keep an eye on your credit score and bank statements anyway.
