What should I do if I realize I gave personal information to a phone scammer?

If you realize that you've given out your personal information over the phone, the first thing you need to do is cancel whatever credit card may be associated with that. If you've given out your social security number, you should run out and get a credit freeze as quickly as possible. Other than that, invest in credit monitoring to make sure that if anyone tries to open up any accounts under your name, you are notified via that monitoring service.
