Possible Scam Artist?
Hi guys, I am kind of concerned about the phone call i got today. I picked up the call and a girl asked me if I speak Chinese, and I said yes. She then told me she was from Toronto Chinese Community or something along that line and asked me to do a survey. I agreed cuz i had nothing better to do while waiting for the bus. She asked me some simple questions such as how long have I been in Canada, how do I like it here etc. If I was student. And then she said I sound young, am I under 21 and I said im 20 ( big mistake).
Later she told me her name and insist me telling her my name. I told her my name in Chinese... She then invite me to attend their company gathering this sunday at Toronto. I said I will be in Waterloo, she sounded bit confused. Now the problem is when I hang up, i saw the number, it starts with a 86 - XXXX-XXXX-XXXX . I assume is international. So now that they got some of my personal info, should I be worried and go to the police station to file a report? Oh she gave me a refrence number too...

What could you do with that information?
Name
How long in Canada
Age
sounds like its just a survey.. its not like you gave her your birthdate or anything like that right? that isnt really personal information in my opinion.

any way or form, it is

if an item has been
USED no matter how little, it is
NOT new at all!
