If a scammer gains access to your email account they may set up a forwarding address so that a copy of all emails that you receive are sent to the scammers email address. This would allow them to receive emails that may assist them to access accounts such as your bank account without you being aware.
To check that there are no forwarding email addresses set up you need to log onto your email account, there may be a yellow banner informing you that forwarding or a rule has been set up.
To check you then need to click on the settings found by clicking on your username at the right hand side. Then go to "Mail" in the left hand column and click on "Auto Forwarding" to see if there are any email addresses there that you did not set up. You should also check in "Rules" to see if there are any rules that you did not set up.
If there are you need to delete them howver if you did not give the scammer the PIN that was sent to you it is unlikely that they have gained access to your account but it is worth checking just to be sure.
