I opened/replied to an email phishing scam?

I opened a phishing scam email that looked like legitimate statement saying a payment I made was rejected. I accidentally replied to it asking "What is this -- could you please explain?" Only later did I realize it was a scam and shouldn'tve replied to it. Am I at risk simply because I replied to the email? I did not give them any passwords or anything.I opened/replied to an email phishing scam?
If you didn't give your username or password you are fine. Just to be safe I would run a virus/malware scan in case that link was infectedI opened/replied to an email phishing scam?
To put your mind at rest, no. It's your details they wanted and you didn't give them ;)
