I get such scam mails everyday in my inbox.
but sometimes i like replying to them just for fun. u know i once replied to one fraudster which he was claiming to be a businessman from malasia. i asked for his photo nd he sent it. I could clearly see that was a Photoshopped pic.

..i say sometimes u can enjoy replying to them and getting their own details which is ofcourse fake.

Youa could have Submitted an Online forum in any Company, Such as RECIEVING FREE CATALOGS, etc; but they SELL your email to ADVERTISEMENT company, And the ADVERTISEMENT company further Sells it to Spammers.
I had also recieved about 600 emails!

No they cant...

with these bellow inofrmation it is not possible to do any harm,

Code:
Account holder name
account number
bank name
BIC / Swift Code
Nation Bank code
but again, if a person can get ur money with these bellow information, then he/she cant get without these too,

These informations are public in any way... there is no point of hidding these ???
