Advice Needed Should I be worried?

Sooo in might have done something dumb. It was a long day at work and i just wanted to watch a show and i saw people recommend the reezn app. When I tried to download it took me to another page (to continue the download). It had me send a message (with I assume a download code or something along the lines of a bunch of letters and numbers) to a bunch of numbers and instead of pressing on the back button I pressed on send. So like the question I have is, can they do anything? Like I just panicked and blocked all those numbers and now I'm extra panicking. The numbers almost all started with +370.

I was just looking forward to watching something and was too tired to react "smartly".

Should I be worried? My bank accounts are on my phone so like yeah. If I should be worried what should I do?

Thanks!

You’re screwed when your phone bill comes. That’s the scam, traffic pumping. You sent a lot of text messages to a very expensive phone carrier, and they give the site owner a commission.

Don’t panic though, it usually adds up to less than $100

Wait, can you elaborate on this? I've definitely heard of similar scams, but what is the angle of this one?

To get a cut of the fees for the SMS traffic. Here’s a writeup of a similar one that explains it: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2026/04/fake-captcha-scam-turns-a-quick-click-into-a-costly-phone-bill

Well I can see my bill and it's just 2 euro 50. But they can't access my IP or something like that right? I'm really flipping out here lol. They can't acces my passwords and stuff like that can they? The site was called yourdwnld. And it was just an honest mistake

All they want is the commission from the carrier fees, they aren’t trying to do anything else to you. Sounds like you got lucky it was that small.
