Gave Some
I mistakenly gave some craigslist scammers my phone number, but no other information. Can they steal from me?
We were looking for a place to live and I responded to a listing add on Craigslist. I mistakenly gave the listers (Nigerian scammers) my phone number. Aside from having my name and number, they have no other information. Could I be at risk for identity theft and/or bank fraud? They do not have any other information.
They can't really get much from you with just a phone number. They probably will get your home address from the reverse listings but even that is not too much. However, they can be very cleaver. Might call your home to see if they can trick anyone there into providing more.
They really make their money by convincing you that you have to send some money to cover expenses that will unlock millions that they will then send you.
If you gave them any banking info you should consult with your bank about the best things to do.
