I was tricked by an email scam and i gave them some personal info?

This email said that some super rich general died in iraq and i was going to become the next of kin to inherit millions but i would have to give my full name, phone number and address. So like a dumbass i gave that info and right after i sent it i relized it was a scam. I want to know what they can do with that info but im not to worried about ti because i dont have a bank account but can they do anyhing else with my info i would liek to know for my future or my familys future.

Place a fraud alert on your credit reports, and review your credit reports.





Fraud alerts can help prevent an identity thief from opening any more accounts in your name. Contact the toll-free fraud number of any of the three consumer reporting companies below to place a fraud alert on your credit report. You only need to contact one of the three companies to place an alert. The company you call is required to contact the other two, which will place an alert on their versions of your report, too. If you do not receive a confirmation from a company, you should contact that company directly to place a fraud alert.
