@cdonald  Ignore them as they are scams.  I received one the other day claiming they had accessed my camera and microphone.

I don't have either on my PC!

Hey @cdonald,

Welcome to the community and thanks for taking the time to post your issue on the forums.
I'm sorry to hear of this happening to you but as @Graham_A said this is a scam. 

You can find more information about how to deal with such emails here and also on this page here

Regards,

Steven_L
