Are the only communications, and your bank account has not been touched - don't worry.

Never interact with these types of spammers. If you do, it confirms that a live human has received their message and they may be prompted to carry on spamming.

Just bin everything. Change your banking passwords if you are worried. With a bit of luck there were no nasty surprises in the PDF but it's not impossible for it to be carrying a payload.

Scan you computer with anti-malware to be on the safe side and in future just delete scammers demands and don't worry.
