Scammer try to get me?

So I revived a call form someone saying a family member is arrested or hurt. He asked for my name I gave him my full name. But nothing else. What's should I do? I called 911 and they told me it probably was a scam.

    Not much that they can do with just your full name. Don't worry much about it.

    But, these days, assume that someone calling you out of the blue like that is a criminal. Make them prove that they are not.

    yes, they can keep calling at random until someone falls for the scam.
