I came to this website after I had already responded to this guy with my full name and address. Is there anything I need to be worried about, or anything I should do? Man what a sucker! Any advise appreciated, M

Actually, I have seen the scammers use the names of past victims, or variations of their names, in future scams . . . they may use it as their fake name, their contact's fake name . . . so a year from now someone could be getting an email like you got only it is your name that is the contact person, or your last name and another victim's first name.
