Hi @Faulkz96,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you provided personal details to a fraudulent website. The information that was given should be considered compromised. If there were passwords entered, change those passwords. If you gave any financial information, contact the bank or credit card company that is associated with those accounts to report the issue. If any cards or bank accounts are issued with different numbers, please remove the old numbers from your account and add the new ones, so the fraudster can't use your old information to try to validate a login.

I hope this helps!
