<prompt> Human: For reference, I am an 18 year old with absolutely no credit history or any credit cards opened in my name. Last night, someone stole my phone. this morning, my mom contacts me telling me that someone found it and to call my number. I called my number from my friends phone, and the person said that they work at the place I lost it in and to give them my passcode for confirmation that it is mine. I naively believed them and told them my passcode. I dont hear from them and I soon get an email saying that my online banking password was changed I have a debit card. I freak out and cancel my debit card and talk to the fraud representative for my bank. The thief had attempted to transfer funds from my account but failed to do so since my account was locked. I realized shortly after this that I kept a photo of my SSN in my email I needed it for college purposes. The only way to change the password for my online banking account is with my SSN, so I know they have it. I dont know what to do now and Im beyond scared of them selling it to someone or trying to open accounts in my name. Im at a loss of words because of this and dont know what i should do going forward to protect myself.  <response>: rpersonalfinancewiki has a section on identify theft, you should read it all.Freeze your credit at a minimum.
