Today I received a malicious order on fiverr. I didn't know it was malicious. The content of the msg is as follows: (Please do not open the link)

I was dumb enough to fall for it. I opened this link. It asked me to enter debit/credit card details to process the order payment (I now know Fiverr does not ask for these details). I entered the details of a credit card (God knows how much fortune that was). Then it said the minimum amount in the account should be $300. Bla bla. The point is I entered the card details and now I realized that it was a scam. I checked the url. The domain is not Fiverr.com. Now there hasn't been any transaction on the card at the moment. But I'm worried. What should I do? Should I block my card?? 

PS: I can't believe such types of scams are possible on Fiverr. I use Upwork. There has never been such an incidence. This is so freaking. 

Need advice on credit card scam. Received malicious order on Fiverr
