THIS HAS "SCAM" WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.

>>> IF it were true, why would they need your age, sex, nationality, and occupation? Think about it.... all that would REALLY be needed is Name, Address, and Phone Number (if even that much).

Watch out! IT'S TOTALLY BOGUS!

Can you spell "identity theft"?
Next they ask for a bank account number
and electronic transfer authority.
