Unfortunately it sounds like you where the victim of a phishing attack. Never put your e-mail or password in any site. Scammers will make legitimate looking sites to try to hijack your e-mail. Bottom line is if a website ever asks for your e-mail and password it is a phishing site. No legitimate company will ever ask for your e-mail password.
