Just be careful next time.. to advise, you only believe you won a prize when it is delivered to you. Not with emails..

if you didn't give out any bank details then it should be ok. Different countries may have different systems so you may need to ask around more, cos I heard in some countries you can open a credit card in someone's name using info found thru "publicly available databases" just watch your bank/credit card statements and make sure nothing funny happens. oh ya, and just ignore those scammers if they try to contact you.

i think you're quite safe. At least you didn't give any bank details. For all we know, they already know you name& address by hacking into your email account profile. Just be careful next time.

You've already made the first two mistakes of email. You opened email from someone you didn't know, and you gave them information you should not have given them. Actually, there isn't much they can do with that except annoy you. Put the first email in spam. Click on Spam so it will be deleted and the sender's address will be blocked. From now on, DON'T OPEN EMAIL FROM SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Golly I hope you don't loose from this , you have to be so careful about these skams they seem so sound. My clue to these scams is the personal information they want! Just don't give them any bank info no matter what!!!!!!
