Camera hacked

Hey I received an email stating that my camera was hacked and that they have a lot of pictures and videos of me and I have 95 hours to respond. I read the email but didn’t open any attachments. I blocked the email address. What should I do next?

iPhone SE, iOS 15

I thought it couldn't be hacked?? I have no intention of sending any money but it made me wonder if that is actually possible. Can you please advise me?? TIA.
