We found an ad on Craigslist this week, and when we responded we got the exact same form letter (with, of course, differences in address, etc) but with no mention of Nigeria. We responded to it and ended up giving all of the info they asked for (full names, where both of us work, phone numbers, home address). We even got so far as to be asked for the deposit money and then all the red flags that I had dismissed became clear.
Did we give them any information that they could use to steal from us (identity theft, etc)? I'm concerned and at a bit of a loss as to what to do.
Also I was unable to find the other thread that was mentioned, even using the name that was used by the scammer.
