Thank you for posting, and I'm glad you didn't fall for the scam.

There's not much they can do with just your name/address. Just ignore and delete any further emails from them and they will just move on to their next victim. If you're concerned about your address, you can setup a Google alert for it just to ease your mind. If you're unsure how to do that, this article on Google can help: https://support.google.com/websearch/an ... 5696?hl=en

The scammer is West African and is unlikely to do anything with your information, even if someone in your country could do something with it. What information did you give?

If he calls, don't answer (it's unlikely since he's pretending to be a she). If a package arrives, refuse delivery. If a check comes in the mail, do not cash or deposit it. Ignore all communication from the scammer.
