They get your personal information through a variety of sources such as stealing your mail or garbage. Sometimes it's done via phishing schemes. What ever you do-don't give out personal info unless you know who it is.

By obtaining certain information about you, they can open credit accounts or even access your social security under your name.
This is why it is so important to keep such information of yourself out of public reach.
