Advanced Mac Cleaner victim

I'm an idiot and was scammed by the Advanced Mac Cleaner app. Paid & called & everything. Was on the phone with them for 20 minutes when things got really suspicious and I decided to cancel the communication. For those who got this far as well, what do I need to be worried about? I'm not tech savvy (obviously cause this happened to me before i thought to google the app first) so I'm paranoid they got access to all my files or identity or something crazy. Any suggestions as to what I should do?

Hi,

If it were me I'd change my administrator password > Change or reset the password of a macOS user account

And change my Apple ID password > Change your Apple ID password

Just to be on the safe side ...
