Hi! I am new to fiverr and just received a message from a customer stating that he needed my personal email to complete the payment.
 Despite my doubts, I did send him my email, but not the email I mainly use, it is just a spare.
 Upon my research, it has come to my attention that a few people mentioned how this is a scam.
 
I have since reported and blocked him, however, I would like to know what are the 

 that comes with sharing my email? (in terms of gaining access to personal information as my spare email contains a lot of my personal information)
 And what kind of measures I can take if I am at risk of potential breach of personal information?
 
Unlike some others that spoke about receiving a link, I did not receive any email from the customer.
 
Thank you for reading!
 
Edit: I did received 2 emails detailing that my item has been purchased and paid for in my spam folder. I have yet to open these emails. Please advice on what I can do next..
