OK. First of all, don't give any information like that over the phone again. Secondly, you might want to let your HR rep know about this because it might be happening to other people. Then you probably should contact the police and just explain the situation to them. Also, if you're working in a mall, you might ask your store manager to alert security about this situation. Ask that a guard walk you to your car at night. Be very alert during the day as well. If anything weird happens (I mean ANYTHING) contact security. Trust your instincts about this. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. Good luck.

Also, people like this don't operate in a vacuum. He (the weirdo) has probably done this before. So you may find that the police, or mall security have had similar reports. Good luck and stay safe!

Also, let your co-workers know what happened, so they can be alert too.

Get Lifelock or something to protect you identity. It's only $10/mo. It's worth it for the peace of mind alone.
