I wonder about that. Only slightly, though, because having my account will not grant anybody any benefits whatsoever o_O So I question the person's logic, unless it was a generic scam.

If they have your e-mail, they can check it for things like paypal registration, and if they get a paypal registration, they could concievably steal money directly from your bank account if you set it up on your paypal account.

That and if it works on one email account, you get several others added to your send list, thus several more victims.

ANYTHING asking for your personal info, ANY personal info, is a phishing scam 99% of the time.

And yeah, they're hilariously obvious, sometimes. Like one time, I got an email saying that my WoW account had been suspended, and to enter my username and password to verify that I own it. Yep, I'm currently in-game, and my account is banned. Makes sense right? :P

They may be obvious, but they are successful.
