Kindly beware of these kind of mails ...... One suggestion: Do not provide details unless you can connect with the individual via phone and its imp to do a bit of background check , as much as possible.
If you cannot do a confident background check , then you should definately meet the person , without giving your complete name. You can use a nick name.
You need to be safe when dealing with all this , thus protect yourself by not letting out much info...

Hi,

I was also contacted by this person. I gave away my address and also bank account information. What should I do? Please help.

Thanks,
Hubkar

??? If that's all you gave him, then you are quite safe.
If you have given any further information concerning your bank account, then please contact the bank and let them know.

Hi,

Thanks for quick response.
I have the fake check that this person sent and it is more than what I had asked for. He also asked me to deposit the check and provide the difference to him/her. I have done that. Should I take this check to police and report the scammer?

You can certainly turn the check into the police or the fraud department of your bank if they would like to follow up on it.

...And please check to see if the funds that you sent him have been picked up. If not, cancel the transaction immediately!

I have not sent any payment. I have not deposited his/her check.
