Q: Phishing email

I got an email saying it was from the "Apps Store", saying I made a purchase, that I did not make, so I clicked the link and proceeded to the website where I put in my login info. Then I noticed it was asking me for all my info which I assume that what I already gave to Apple, when I made my account, it should already have. Then I noticed the web address was different. So I exed out of the page and changed my password for my Apple account right away and reported the email to reportphishing@apple.com. On furthur inspection it had more spelling errors like the one I mentioned above, "Apps Store", and when I clicked that it showed a random email address, from where it was sent from and just put my "firstname_lastname". Anyways, I know now it is a scam but my question is if I just put my login info but exed out the page and changed my password straight away and reported the email is good enough? I suppose I should keep a lookout anyways to see if any changes that I did not make and call customer service immediately or should I do it now?

 

Thanks.
