I think it might be wise to cancel your card - contact your bank ASAP.

Contact your bank straightaway and explain what's happened.

I decided to sell some clothes on Vinted. A friend had recommended it
I spent ages doing descriptions and uploading photos and as soon as the first item went live, I had a message from Vinted that it had been sold.
I was then asked to press a link.
The link said "are you sure you want to leave Vinted"
Instead of following my instinct to stay on the site, I found myself giving bank details to someone who said they had paid for the garment
There was no confirm button so I hope I haven't actually parted with my card details or if I have they are not in a criminal's hands

Soon after I had 2 messages from Vinted saying 2 more items had sold and there was no request for card details, only posting instructions.
There is no obvious help on the site.
Should I panic and cancel my bank card?
