Just be careful next time, because the scammers will use the information that you have sent, to attempt to trick you into sending money and more information.

I too have been taken in by these vultures, while they have not asked four any money$ I did send them the info they wanted, which is basically common knowledge, like filling out a job application, I haven't heard anything back from them, should I be concerned?

There is no need to be concerned, since the information that you have sent is not enough to steal your identity or money. But,the scammers, in an attempt to trick you, may call you back and provide you with the information that you have sent in order to gain your trust. For example, they may call you by name and provide you with the information that you have sent them before, which will make you think they are calling from a legitimate company. Once they have gained your trust, they will trick you into sending money or more information.
Remember, people usually believe others who are able to provide them information that they think no one but public and legitimate private companies should have.

In the last month I have received several urgent emails on having won $500,000 from Microsoft Nokia to no avail. They haven't stop and if anyone knew our back story, has enraged enough people wanting us to take it to the local news channel in hopes it goes national, because of back story makes this pure harassment; and what can someone do to stop this.
It is literally inhumane whether you already know it is false; there are a lot of struggling people in this world and maybe microsoft needs to legally go after these scammers! DO NOT SEND THEM ANYTHING OR RESPOND!
