Call your bank immediately. NOW!!! I assume they'll freeze your account and give you a new number. As for ID? I don't know about that maybe call your local police as they'll have info on identity theftprevention in your area and what to do about your ID. Sheesh be more careful!

Change your account number/s. Block the site and report it to spam@uce.gov. Since email spoofing is also a use for phishing you might want to get Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or Opera 9.1 which has no security holes. They have good anti-phishing software. Also Mcafee Spam Killer is a good way to block any spam. Especially if you've filled up your blocked sender's list. Add a filter to your router. That can help prevent spoofing.

Were you out of your mind?!? With all the warnings we get bombarded with daily about NOT giving out personal info! OK now that's off my chest.
Contact your bank straight away. Hopefully they can cancel / close this account, and open a new one.
I trust this little experience brought a few valuable life lessons with it.

Good grief...why would you do that? Well, it's done so get on the phone and call the 24 hour customer service line at your bank and get that account closed. It could be too late already but I wish you luck.

Call the bank and cancel the account right away, NOW! They are already charging up your account. Why would you give that info out?

As soon as possible, call and freeze/cancel your account and explain what happened. And never give any personal information over an email, EVER again.

It may be smart to cancel your account.
This could be a very serious crime to the offenders. Hopefully you kept the emails. You could get a case going with your police department.

Did you give them your account number? if so, say goodbye to the money in it. If you gave them no info, you have atleast told them your email account is good and should be sold to everyone they can think of for money (spam).

Call the credit reporting agencies and have the put a freeze on your credit for a while and put an alert or watch on any applications or inqueries.

open a new account and transfer all the money to your new account and tell the bank what happened.
