<prompt> Human: Hello rpersonalfinance Looking for some advice on a situation I just had. It happened about an hour ago.Im 20, not in school currently but work for an insurance company. I recently opened a credit card with a small limit. Here is the situation.So this morning I got a textE-mail on my phone. It was from an email address three digits followed by ca.gov. The message said the name of my bank then the message Call notification: urgent. I called the number and a machine greeted me and asked me to put in my full Social. Me being the dumbass I put in my social, Then the machine asked me to put it in again. I hung up the phone and called my bank to see if they sent me any sort of notification. Im just worried because the bank said nothing was out of the ordinary. Im have never been scammed or phished for information. Im just concerned because I did enter my social Yes, once again. Im a dumbass for doing so So Im asking if there is any action I can take to protect myself. If I should freeze my accounts or anything like that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Yes, I suggest a credit freeze and quickly!!! Source: Family members have been through what you did.
