Vivastreet phishing

Hi
I have had 2 phishing responses to ads on this site. I have reported it to vivastreet. The responses have come from g-mail addresses. The first response looks like a genuine query but is swiftly followed by an obvious attempt to scam.
I did not click on the link, however I am concerned that these scammers now have my e-mail address and to a lesser degree my home phone number.
Should I be too worried? Could they perhaps reply to other ads using my e-mail address and implicate me in a scam?
