Welcome to Scamwarners, newmasa!
Please don't worry too much. The scammer using the name Samantha Whitney and the email address of [email protected] only wanted your money. There is almost no chance that your info would be of any use to him. :D

Greetings newmasa. Ther is no need for you to be freaking out. It's just a slimey little fraud trying to grab hold of your money by deceitful means. It will be the scam artist freaking out if they are caught.
One point to consider is you may or may not be targetted in the coming weeks from other scams because they know your email address. Stay vigilant and you will be fine.
