Taking the Nigerian Scam Up a Notch

I reckon you're at a much higher risk for identity theft based on the high quality information they have about you.

as for "do now"? You could call all your creditors and ask that no new credit extensions be granted in your name without your explicit confirmation. And check the credit reporting services and explain the same thing, and ask for holds on your info there too.

Look up what it takes to recover from ID theft. that's what I think you're most at risk of, and that risk will last for a while.

ps welcome to the cellar. sorry it's under these circumstances.
