Default Possible Scam Artist?

Hi guys, I am kind of concerned about the phone call i got today. I picked up the call and a girl asked me if I speak Chinese, and I said yes. She then told me she was from Toronto Chinese Community or something along that line and asked me to do a survey. I agreed cuz i had nothing better to do while waiting for the bus. She asked me some simple questions such as how long have I been in Canada, how do I like it here etc. If I was student. And then she said I sound young, am I under 21 and I said im 20 ( big mistake).

Later she told me her name and insist me telling her my name. I told her my name in Chinese... She then invite me to attend their company gathering this sunday at Toronto. I said I will be in Waterloo, she sounded bit confused. Now the problem is when I hang up, i saw the number, it starts with a 86 - XXXX-XXXX-XXXX . I assume is international. So now that they got some of my personal info, should I be worried and go to the police station to file a report? Oh she gave me a refrence number too...

What could you do with that information?

Name
How long in Canada
Age

sounds like its just a survey.. its not like you gave her your birthdate or anything like that right? that isnt really personal information in my opinion.
