If I sent my phone number and address to an email scam, but no money or account information, do I have anything to fear? Will I receive threats?

Phone number and address can be obtained by anyone through any public source, such as telephone directories and voters lists. Since that is generally public information anyway, and you have not given up any of your personal / banking information, it is unlikely you will have any trouble.
Reply:As long as you didn't give the your Social Security # or Credit card information or Bank account # you should be alright. Delete and ignore any further contact from them and consider this a lesson learned !!! Remember hon, If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is to good to be true !!! *smile*
Reply:na as long as no credit card #
Reply:You'll probably get some 'follow up'. Just ignore it or better forward it to the authorities. It will soon end.
