I don't understand what they can do with such personal information. This is the email I received which refers me to a bank called the CARTER ALLEN PRIVATE BANK with this data I received this email:
This is the first email I received from them:

"From: Grace Hendrawan Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2019 9:42 AM Subject: urgent response needed 440 5th Avenue N. Seattle, Washington 98109 United States Of America Dear Email Owner! My name is Mrs. Grace Hendrawan working with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) Bill & Melinda Gates has decided to donate the sum of $2,500,000;00 to Microsoft email users including you, either organizations or individuals that are financially handicapped. To effect the release of your fund valued at $2,500,000;00, you are advised to get back to me for more details. Yours Mrs.Grace Hendrawan Email:(grace.hendrawan@yahoo.com)" Here is another scam.

I have received notice from an old acquaintance, Dan Murphy, that UPS had delivered his grant money and that he had seen my name on the winner's list.
Initially, I was suspicious because there is simply no reason whatsoever I should be receiving a grant from this foundation much less hearing about it from an old acquaintance that I didn't really know all that well anyway.
Moreover, telling me that UPS delivered grant money to his doorstep sounded phoney, but I decided to see where this would go.
Finally, after some encouragement, he gave me the phone number of the claim agent, Cheryl Sandberg at (507)442-2970. Being in the same business as Dan for several years, I went to the industry web site where I learned that Dan had passed away November 25th of last year, which insofar as I can see, is proof positive that this is a scam.
Do you wish to follow up? I will report it to Washington's Attorney General's office to see if they want to probe and prosecute.
Good on you for Scam Fighters!

This person scammed me. I went as far as giving my address and phone number as it came from a person that is in my family. How can I further protect myself?
