scams

I think I may have been scammed. I answered an email (purporting to come from Martin Lewis) offering a bond with a good interest rate. I have only sent them my email and postal address for further information. Is that enough for them to apply for eg. a credit card. If so, what can I do?

    Martin doesn't do ANY advertising, so it's definitely a scam.
