all the info they are asking for is just your basic identity theft so they can create various accounts and make dodgy passports and other 'ID cards' in your name and your none the wiser until you get a letter stating you owe someone money or you get a visit from your local CID sayin your a wanted international assassin or something like that :rolleyes::D

I'm sure a real company would use a proper email address instead of using a free yahoo account
it's quite easy to fake any email address so always be careful! if anything looks suspicous never login in any of the links in the email, as they may look geniune but arn't! always go to the website yourself or even better ring them up!

Funny you say that, i put my school address in for that Welt competition and now i keep getting a load of idiots emailing my school account and that never happened before i put the email in for the competition.
