Hey everyone,
I had to find a new place asap, so I was desperately sending mails/texts to any apartment posts online.
Now I realize the mail source had a “via [aruba.it](https://aruba.it)” appendix to it – so the mail was from somewhere else other than how it was shown.
I have shared with them the following information;
\- Name/Surname.
\- Age.
\- Marital status, if I have pets, hobbies.
\- Physical address in Denmark.
\- Phone number.
\- Email address.
\- Work position and education information (university of my masters degree and my programme).
\- The period I have been in Denmark.
\- When will I move out from my current residence.
\- They also possibly have access to profile picture because it all started on Facebook.
​
Should I be worried? Is there anything I should be aware of? How can I protect myself from any harm in Denmark? Should I call the police? I am scared of identity theft, or further.

You didn’t give anything away that couldn’t be scrubbed from most Danes anyway.
I’d just be super suspicious of all bills and emails in the near future. If you did use your card, inform the bank and have them issue you a new one *FOR FREE*. (You are doing their scam prevention for them).
As long as you haven’t given your CPR number and bank details you shouldn’t have any issues with identity theft. But expect to get lots of calls/mails/messages from random number. Don’t pickup any calls from unknown callers.
Instead of calling the police, you can contact digitaliseringstyrelsen, if you’re in doubt. Link below.

You can sign up for credit warning.
