Call the police & file a report. My mother received a call from a cell phone when she lived in HI. She gave them all sorts of personal information, including enough info to create a paypal acct. I guess they had trouble creating the acct, so they called back, this time from a land line, from a completely different area code. I talked to them & told them we were reporting them to the police.
The police did come by the house later that evening to file a report. They said that there's nothing that they could do. But if they were to actually use any of her info to make purchases or open new accts, they would go after the creeps. It also helps them if it happens to someone else & they have their identity stolen, it would help to have other claims against these criminals.
So yes, please do yourself a favor & file a report w/the police. It may save you from them stealing your identity, and/or it may help someone else in the future. Good luck & I hope they leave you alone!
