Working out if someone is trying to commit identity fraud

Over the past few days I've been called twice by utility providers I've got contracts with (broadband and mobile). When they call I just say I'll call them back without giving details.

Both times it looks like the number is spam (have Googled). I'm now worried that someone now knows about my accounts and is calling to try and get info.

Is there anything I should do to protect myself? I already have a password on my credit report services due to a previous identify fraud a few years back!

Have you registered with CIFAS?

unfortunately once you have been a victim of fraud your details get sold onto other fraudsters so it is much more likely to happen again.

Yes thank you I am registere and was careful to take all the precautions advised at the time, which is why this is strange.

I've opted out of marketing with one of the companies which is another a reason I know it wasn't legit.
