Ask HN: Scammed. Now what?

Hey HN,

My wife has just been scammed through a PayPal phishing e-mail. I'm angry as fu*k, but long story short. Here is what she did:

  - typed her PayPal username/password;
  - provided her name, phone number and address
  - shared her credit card details
  - uploaded a photo holding her driver's license and cc. This is the format "required" by the fraudulent web site:

Now here is what I've done so far:

  - changed her PayPal password
  - locked her CC
  - changed password on other web sites (email, amazon, etc.)
  - reported scammers to PayPal
Any other immediate steps I should take?
