Please post the emails with your personal information removed. Be sure to include any email addresses and phone numbers they are using. This will help prove it's a scam and warn others.

There's not much they can do with your basic information, just ignore and delete any further emails from them. They will realize you're not going to play their game and they will just move on to their next victim. You can also set up a Google Alert for your information if you want to keep track and see if anyone re-uses your information. You can do that here: http://www.google.com/alerts/

====================================
PLEASE DO NOT TELL A SCAMMER HE IS REPORTED HERE!
