Hi I clicked on a spam link on a text message. I didn't enter any data, I noticed it was about winning an Amazon voucher so just shut it straight away. Should I be worried or do anything? I struggle with mental health and can't sleep worrying

So just so I can be absolutely clear. I didn't just open the text, I clicked on the link and it said about an Amazon voucher so then I realised it wasn't about my delivery so not real so I didn't enter any data, not even my name. Is this ok?
Thank you, I feel like crying, I was so scared
You’re quite welcome. Those type of messages are common, but near as scary when you are aware. The article I have inked in my previous posts has great information for spotting bogus messages.
Thank you so much, I should no better but was expecting a vacuum cleaner delivery today and the text referred to a delivery for today, so clever, aren't they?
Yes, that is fine.
