1.Your Bank Account Details .
2. Your Full Names And your Mailing Address
3. Your Private Mobile Line.
4. Your Id card or passport.

All that information is used by terrorists. And everyone around the States have most likely gotten something like this. Nobody should ever give out ANY information about themselves. All parents should even teach their kids NOT give out information over the phone. When my kids were OF AGE and stayed home I told them to tell people that I was doing dishes or in the shower and told them they would have to call back later. I had a friend who just recently went through this. Her 10 year old answered the phone and whoever it was kept asking the kid questions. (The mother was feeding the baby) The person eventually started asking her questions like "what are you wearing?" Amazing what some people do over the phone or internet to other people (especially children).

Wow! I guess there are some people out there stupid enough to fall for that stuff. . .

Anyone who wants info for new identies will be buying it from these people. Here, a narco was caught with two shoe boxes full of American passports, drivers' licenses and credit cards. They can be anyone they want to be from any state they want to be from. All thanks to people like these Indian or South African idiots.
