Hi I had an email about work from home Administration work from Australia and New Zealand it sounded ok didn't cost anything and so I went ahead and did all the stuff the person told me... they wanted me to sign a contract give them my name address and phone numbers and my bank account details I gave them the signed agreement and other detail BUT DID NOTgive bank details. Then I did a bit of a search which I know I should of done first (stupid) but they sounded legal anyway now I dont trust it and they have my signature, Address, Phone Numbers BUT NO Bank details which I am very glad about...My Question is can anyone do anything with the information that I have given them I live in Australia and it is worring me... any feedback will be great
Thanks Heaps

You did the right thing by not giving them more information. The bank info is probably what they were "phishing" for. I got something similar with what was supposed to be an online degree program, but then I got a high-pressure call where someone tried to get me to apply for financial aid. It sounded like they were trying to scam money either from me or the financial aid program, so I backed out. They probably can't do anything with just your signature and address, but check with local law enforcement - they can likely direct you to an office or service to report the incident.

Do you have their phone number? Give them a call. Also, call BBB (Better Businee Bureau) and see if they know about the company. If not, and if it's a scam, then they should be able to give you that information. Hope that helps!
