Contact police to make a report, then the Minnesota Attorney General's Office - Consumer Division. Then, hang up on that caller or block their calls. It sounds like a variation on an identity theft scam.

It sounds like a scam. Report it to police immediately. In fact, tell them you would be happy to meet them with the police present. I imagine that will put a stop to the calls quickly.
