I was once SE'd (socially engineered) into providing the caller with my full name, address, DOB, but no financial information.
The caller had spoofed their caller ID to reflect a police agency, albeit out of my jurisdiction, but like the OP it was early on a weekend morning and I was quite well hungover, so I readily supplied the requested info.
It was a valuable learning experience and I admit to being "schooled" by the perpetrator but seeing that no actual harm was done I let the matter drop like the lead it was worth.
