2change your password. If you use that password in more than one place change it in those other places too. The deposit will likely bounce (if it was ever made at all).– Robert LongsonCommented Aug 26, 2017 at 7:29

I'm curious what it was that changed your mind about going along with this "someone"'s scheme to realizing it was a scam?– timdayCommented Aug 26, 2017 at 9:54

Contact your bank immediately, if you haven't done so already. They will almost certainly have some sort of "fraud hotline" which can take appropriate action.
Close your card, now. Let your credit card provider / bank know about the situation.
Never, ever ever, give out your password. Not to a friend, not to your bank and not even to your cat.

Also, do not trust anyone who phones you up. If someone phones up, claiming to be your bank, and trying to "sort out this situation"; how do you know it's your bank? You've given the scammer your phone number - it could be the scammer calling.
Only discuss this with someone at the bank when you have phoned them.
