This morning I got a message on my college Outlook account (which I later found out is very easy for scammers to access). The message claimed it was offering $800 an hour and 6 hours a week to take care of some pets, and it said that all I needed to do to apply was message them back with my personal email address and my phone number. Like an idiot with dollar signs in my eyes, I sent them that information (thank god I wasn’t stupid enough to send them anything else).
I already reported this to the FTC. I also already posted about this here, but in that post I used screenshots of the message in which I forgot to censor the scammer’s email address, so it got taken down. I got one comment before it was taken down saying that I didn’t have much to worry about because the info I gave them was already public, but I’d like a second opinion so I can be sure.
Will this ruin my life or just cause me a minor inconvenience? Do I need to change my email password, enable 2FA or even change my email address entirely, or do I not need to do anything? The only thing that every source I found online agreed on is that I’ll start getting way more phishing/scam emails now.
