Phishing Scam
I think I accidentally gave my name, address, email, and cellphone number to a phishing website today. Should I be concerned even though I didn't give any banking or account information?

Not sure what they can get with that information. I would think you should be okay but you may want to keep an eye on things just to be safe.

The only way I can help you is if you give me your full name, address and social security number.
My PM box has room.

You should be fine. I mean there are probably countless businesses that have the information of yours. Worst case is you get bombarded by telemarketers.

Worst case would be they try to then phish for your bank info by impersonating a banker from a back office, etc etc.
I agree the worst likely outcome is telemarketers, but if you want to be extra cautious, you could always throw an a fraud alert on your credit profile and give your bank a call-- if it's anything like mine, leaving a note would take seconds and will show during any transaction. |
