Facebook Fraud

I had a call on my cell phone yesterday from someone I do not know, the caller said that I had tried to call them from Facebook just 29 minutes before they called me. They said my full name "Beth Winowich" and my Facebook picture popped up on their cell phone. How did this happen ?? The only thing I can think of , is the night before , some computer hackers tried to get my boyfriends credit card number while he was on the computer , something popped up on the screen saying the computer was vunerable and his antivirus protection was expired. They took over the computer from their end, and a box with all our personal information appeared. I was not home when this happened . The hackers asked for a secondary number and my boyfriend gave them my name and cell number. Can this stuff really happen ?? What should I do ??? You can contact me , my name is Beth Winowich and my cell phone is Thank You
