I put an ad on an internet website for cleaning services. A man e-mailed me and told me he would send me a check n a key to his apartment so I can clean it once while he is away. Stupidly, I gave him my full name and address. I didnt relieze it was spam until later on. Does anybody know what could happen next!? Im very scared.

What you have is my no means spam. My concern is that you gave an unknown person who could have a criminal record your full name and address.

Sincerely hope that you saved his email and did not delete.

Do you know how to go into options depending on what service the email came over, like Yahoo mail, or Hotmail. You can open options and where you see "mail", check off "full header", this will tell you where his email actually came from and all the servers that the email passed through.

You may want to talk with your local police, about the human error you made. They may offer you some advise, but I doubt if they can do anything until a crime against you has been committed.

I don't wish for you to learn by a road of hard knocks as it can be very dangerous. (You really must learn or think twice about the practice of safe surfing and responding or giving personal data out over the net.).

Especially being that the internet is loaded with criminals who take advantage of human errors.

Feel free to contact me via answers and if you need my personal email I will send it via answers direct to you for options to catching this guy or putting and end to his game.
