Hi there /r/scams,
So I decided to do a James Veitch and reply to a very obvious scam e-mail. Problem is that I did this with an e-mail account I use regularly and my contact info was on my automated signature.
Not my brightest moment.
Now suddenly they started calling me, asking me to reply to their e-mail:

The fact that they started calling actually caught me by surprise :/
Should I be worried now? I've already blocked the e-mail adress so I won't get any other messages.
EDIT: The number they were calling from is just listed as 00699001
