They want your personal info for idenity theft, always DELETE them, never be tempted to reply and mess with these people even for a laugh, they are computer savoy and will screw you over if you give them the opportunity.

REPORT AS SPAM AND BE DONE!

Just a heads up, Cp

They'll also call (a business) through the operator and say they are hearing impaired and ask for all your info so they can communicate with you. They will instruct you to ship parts over seas and they will pay you extra for your inconveiences. I had this happen to me several years ago when someone from Africa wanted to buy a dozen 6kw generators from me. I sold Multiquip generators and told them their was a MQ dealer in Africa and gave them the info. They quit calling and emailing me after that.
My dad always told me "If it sounds to good to be true. IT IS!!"
