Can replying to a spammer infect my ipad?

I was being harassed from someone that somehow got my info via Amazon (they were wanting me to take a review down and then give me a gift card in return).

After spam email after email, I had enough and copied Amazon’s scam team and told the scammers to stop harassing me and that Amazon was investigating. I have not gotten a spam email since.

But, I am wondering, by replying to that email, then marking them a spam in my gmail...is my iPad safe from hacking/viruses?

How can I make sure my iPad (and even email) is now safe(r)?

    Unless you downloaded a file from them you are pretty safe.
