If you haven't already contact the three major credit bureaus and put fraud protection on your credit. You give them a phone number then if anyone tries to open up a credit account or buy something that involves a credit check in your name they have to call that number and verify that it is you before they make the deal.

If they are looking for info on you, they are probably planning something shady so this might help protect you.
