Fell for a Phish--anything else I should do?

I fell for one of the phishing schemes where an unknown charge of $143.00 has shown up with Apple. They used logmeinrescue for a moment, then we hung up. However, I don't have bank apps or account #s on my phone so I'm not sure they could get anything. Realizing my error, I immediately deleted the app, changed my apple password, called my bank and two credit cards. All reported that (so far), everything is fine and that they would keep an eye out for anything. Any advice as to anything else I should do?
