If you are not the intended recipient(s) please note that any form of distribution, copying or use of this Email or the information contained in it is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.

Unfortunately, I did not know that I was a scam. The email sound too good to be truth. It directed me to to contact Mr. Harry Tyne, as you see above and give my personal information.

After I send Mr. Harry Tyne my personal information including bank account, a photograph of personal identification, name, address, phones(mobile, home, work), nationality and gender, I realized that it was a scam or fraud because BMW would never asked anyone to send their personal information via the internet, according to BMW web page.

What can I do to prosecute the person that is reponsible for sending this email out to innocent people like myself?
