Wrath Techy Advice Please

Had a series of three emails to one of my three Hotmail accounts saying they were from the darknet and they knew my passwords to each account. In the three emails they separately (one for each email) said what my passwords were.....and they were correct. Said they'd been monitoring my accounts for 6 months blar blar and the sites I visited blar blar so if I didn't want embarrassment of that knowledge getting out send money to this account blar blar. As they had the passwords correctly written down I feel I should be concerned.....should I though as no emails from them in the other two accounts? Get loads of spam and phishing stuff every day but delete it. Any advice?
