I fell for a scam (I feel like such an idiot). I gave out my full name, address, and phone numbers to some guy claiming to live in UK, who wanted to buy one of my books at a high price (he said he had a shipping agent that needed the info). How critical will this problem be? How do I resolve this issue?
I don't have any credit cards, only a debit card. I live with my parents. Is my dad's credit card at risk? How far can they go with Name, Address, Postal Code, and Phone Numbers?

Call your credit cards and put up a fraud alert. In addition, ask to change security questions or anything else that could be used to steal your identity. If you think that the guy is dangerous call the police.

Your information can be passed along from scammer to scammer by online forums. You can contact a lawyer, the police, or if it gets worse the secret service to solve your problems. Though fraudders often evade the law.
