Hello everyone, i received a message from this number 14372130983 saying:

(FlDO MOBILE DEPARTMENT)

Wishing you a Happy New Year! To show our gratitude for your loyalty, we're sending you $40.00 CAD via INTERAC e-Transfer.

Visit: fidosolutions2024.com. Data rates may apply

 

I figured it's a scam but I already filled out the details asked by the link like my card number and CVV. 

 

What can I do to prevent them from hacking my account? or worse identity theft? 

 

Thank you

Hello Rpb_22,

 

  Welcome to the community!

 

  Sorry to hear you had already provided your information. You should report the fraud to the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre. In addition, you should also contact your bank and have them suspend your credit card and/or re-issue your credit card. As well, you might consider contacting the credit reporting agencies and request the place fraud alerts on your accounts. You might also consider following some of the suggestions:

  While some of those options, might not apply (ie relate to US), it would be a good place to start.

 

Hope this helps 😀

 

Cheers
