While dealing with an emotional family situation I received a call from the "Canada revenue agency audit department", and Long story short, I feel that I was stupid enough to give my personal info (social, mothers maiden, DOB, and place of employment) to someone on the phone, and I need to know who to contact on this matter. I only realized this 5 min after I hung up. All I have is their number and extension and a likely fake name. I called the police, but they didn't want the number or any details.
I have been told to call both the credit bureau's to flag my account.
Yes, I am stupid, I never thought I could do this could happen to me. I was completely caught in a vulnerable position--perfect timing on their part.
Is there anything else I can do to protect myself? Who else to call? I'm so distressed at the moment and worried about my future.
