Firstly - take a breath and calm down.

You haven't done anything wrong or lost a lot of money, unless there's more to your experience. It's understandable that your head's spinning and full of mixed emotions of anger, fear and revenge, but if you calmly work out what's happened you can get through it.

Scammers don't usually take personal information for ID theft, but to get you in a compliant state of mind. Personal details like your name. address and phone number aren't a problem but if you've handed over details that could be used to access your banking then you may have to contact your bank to alert them.

Your first priority is to secure yourself, then worry about what you can do about him later. Meanwhile cut off all contact with the scammer and ignore his mails and calls, if he uses the phone. You need to channel your energy in the right direction and in a way that will secure you.

These scammers are almost always looking for a quick pay-off by untraceable means. They usually ask for this kind of information as it sounds official and it shows them that you are a compliant victim.

Bearing this in mind, it's very unlikely that he will try to steal your identity. If you are really worried, then you can get a free 90 day fraud alert with the big three credit check agencies. This LINK has all the info you need. Question 2 is the most pertinent one in your case, so I've quoted it below.

# I gave out my Social Security number over the phone and now I am worried that it is a scam. What should I do?

* Place a 90-day fraud alert on your credit reports by calling one of the three credit bureaus:
o TransUnion ñ (800) 680-7289
o Equifax ñ (888) 766-0008
o Experian ñ (888) 397-3742
* Monitor your credit reports very closely. After placing a fraud alert you will receive a letter explaining how to order your credit report. Placing a fraud alert allows you to order a free credit report. This is in addition to the free report you are entitled to order annually. Later on you can also order your free annual credit reports by calling (877) 322-8228 or by visiting http://www.annualcreditreport.com.
* If you have evidence of actual or attempted identity theft, file a police report. Once you have the report you can request an extension of the fraud alert to 7 years. You will need to mail copies of the police report to the credit bureaus to qualify.
* If you learn that fraudulent credit accounts have been opened, the credit issuers to close the accounts.
* Consider freezing your credit (not available in all states). For California, instructions are available on California Office of Information Security and Privacy Protection web site: http://www.oispp.ca.gov/consumer_privac ... nglish.asp.
* Visit this Consumers Union web page to learn which states have security freeze laws, http://www.consumersunion.org/campaigns ... _May05.pdf.
* Report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission's identity theft clearinghouse at (877) 438-4338, or online at http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft.

You should take the following steps to reduce the risk of new accounts being opened in your name.
