Hi! I have a couple of questions regarding your post. If you or anyone else has some answers, resources, links,etc..., please reply! Undoubtedly a scam but I am not seeing anything specific about some of this online and being gullible and naive myself...is easy to see how many people get scammed. Especially where they are not asking for money(YET)!
I will paste a copy of my email received at end of this with the exception of the tracking number and sender name.
1-In your original email...dId you receive a tracking number and sender name which you then were able to verify it through the link at MoneyGram and it showed that funds were there and available?[Removed - AJ]
2-Is it safe to show my ID to Moneygram, yet the sender could somehow now have access to my DL info??
3-Being a naive/gullible person, educate me! What could they REALLY and specifically do with just the 3 things they are originally asking for? ( receiver name, full address, and direct mobile number)?

Thanks in advance for everyone's comments, etc!
Read below for the email I received,
Note the comment to do not share this info the "US FBI is already on
trace of the criminals from Africa." Big red Flag there, ya think?!

No

2-Is it safe to show my ID to Moneygram, yet the sender could somehow now have access to my DL info??

You will have to ask Moneygram to confirm that, but most likely your details won't be shared with the sendier

3-Being a naive/gullible person, educate me! What could they REALLY and specifically do with just the 3 things they are originally asking for? ( receiver name, full address, and direct mobile number)?

Probably nothing and they're not really interested in your details, they are just seeing if you are likely to fall for their lies.
