Hello kanyinsola,


I understand your security concern. As was stated earlier, if you didn't submit any information then you probably don't have anything to be concerned about. At most the people who sent it may know that somebody clicked on the link, but you didn't really reveal anything that should be a security issue. If you did submit information then here are articles with information about measures you should take.
