i really don't know where else to post this
telus (cell phone provider) called my mother on friday around 7pm, apparently offering a "free LG 285" or something with some good cell phone minute plan they mentioned and they said they were offering it to people in our area. well usually, my mom is very cautious about giving out personal info over the phone and over the internet, but i guess she was very emotionally beat up that day as our dog died that morning, so she wasn't thinking straight. they asked for name, address, date of birth, and drivers license number. well my mom gave them those things and they said they would send out the phone.
but im lost as to how this works. do you guys think this is like identity theft or something? they never asked for a credit card or anything, but im still afraid of it being identity theft. should i report this to the police?
