Fake bank call tricked me into giving info

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Feeling so extremely stupid about this, but today I got a call pretending to be my bank and I completely fell for it. They told me that there had been fraudulent charges on my account, and I needed to give them information so they could put 'extra security measures' in place. I gave them my card info, home address, birthday, and the last four of my SSN before I realized something was fishy. I've contacted my bank already and had them shut down my card, but what else can I do to protect myself from here? Thank you!!
