I would like to know if we MUST delete the GroupMe app if we receive this message. And what will happen if I don't delete the GroupMe app after I have received this message.

I just received a message stating that I was a winner of a brand new IPad Pro Air 2021. This I entered my name, mailing address and a phone number. Then they asked for a card number for a payment of a one-time small fee. This is when I realized it was a scam and backed up out of it. How do I secure my GroupMe account from receiving scam messages like this is the near future?
