Can a person get into trouble by giving information to the sheriff department or the FBI..?

He or she can probably get into more trouble by withholding evidence.  The words that come to mind are: accessory after the fact.  I believe that could apply here.

have someone call the police staion for you they will tell them

You need to call the jail for that information.  In some cases you have to make an appointment.  Each county or state has different rules.

try going to a police station for info.

In public, without using electronics? No.\n\nIf you are wiretapping or using other electronic devices, probably.  If you provide more details, you might get more specific help.\n\n(The laws in question will probably be Tennessee, but federal law may or may not be implicated.)

The householder is required by law to provide this information.  In theory you could be sent to prison until you do.  However, about 10% of the population don't bother and there's not enough room for all of you.

You can't. Nor should you. If a crime is involved by the person with the phone, then the authority's can.

It could be a while before he gets caught.  In the meantime, he can have access to all of your personal information, get credit cards in your name, and endless other things.  You need to be careful about giving out ANY personal info.

Um, yeah, sure. Just go to your local FBI office and ask them, I'm sure they can help you.

Most lkely not, But it really wouldn't surprise me to find out they do. I would suggest getting in touch with the local sheriff and find out.

Yes, it depends on the laws of the state where you are tried and sentenced.  And if you, or someone you know, was arrested for that, you'd need to know a few more details bfore you could get much of annswer.

Varies from state to state.  At worst, you could go to jail, but most don't.  Check your local laws to get the full story.

That's just plain evil. I can't believe there's such scum like that around. Well, as long as you keep all documentation, correspondence, etc... you shouldn't have a problem proving the situation to the authorities.\n\nI hope you get to meet this person and give him a whopping big whack in the head. Grrr! I'm so angry FOR you!!!

You, personally can't find this out. It is confidential. If the person is suspected of fraud, you should report it to the agency, and let them handle it from there.

You may get caught through any number of channels. If you subscribe over the telephone your phone number may be captured and can lead the police to you.  If you use a compuer, the IP address can be traced and lead the police back to you.  If you do get caugt you may be charged with identity theft - a felony.  No matter what, he probably won't have to actually pay for the subscriptions because he will likely just claim fraud and cancel them.  Your little plan is likely to land you in jail and land your "friend" nothing more than some free magazines.

that would depend on where the person's criminal background is. in some places it is available for free, other places you have to pay, and there are still other places that the information is not considered public record, and therefore not available to the general public.
