Ride sharing payment link scam

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Hi everyone, I used a ride sharing app that is popular in Eastern Canada out here in the west. I messaged a rider and he gave me his WhatsApp number and I texted him there. He sent me a link for payment and when I clicked on the link and entered my bank details, it did not load and the payment did not go through. I then realized that it was a scam and I may have been compromised. I changed my passwords to my Google accounts and bank accounts. I blocked that scammer and reported him. I have been monitoring my accounts for any suspicious activity and have found none so far. Is there anything else I need to be aware of and need to do? Thank you for all the advice in advance!
