Yes, these Internet hackers can be dangerous. I on the other hand lucked out when I answered a Nigerian prince's email request. He said he was a Mark Twain fan. His country is in turmoil and he needed a place to store several million dollars for a short time. He seemed like a nice guy and he promised me a HUGE gift for this small favor. I gave him my bank account numbers and now, this morning, I am going to the bank to pick up my check for $3,000,000.00! Isn't that amazing? So the lesson here is sometimes you can trust these Internet things and sometimes you can't. I guess I'm just the lucky one.
