Question to everyone: if the scammers got the IP address from the victim visiting their site, would they potentially start poking around in it on the assumption that anyone who would fall for the scam also probably has poor internet security overall?
If they were diligent enough, they could get your general location of where you live. Basically they could get your zipcode, which they could use along with your credit card information if they managed to get that too. If they JUST got your public IP and that is it, pretty much nothing would happen to you.

If you happened to be a multi-billionaire without proper security, a serious hacker could potentially get through the firewalls, and get a tunnel into your system. But no hacker who is able to do that is going to care about anyone less.
