E-mail after a malware infection

[duma]

Two month ago I got infected by a ransomware on my PC. Then I deleted all traces of the virus and I formatted the computer, and I also checked my email adresses and changed all the password because this virus had also a Trojan. I think the virus problem is solved, but some days ago I started receiving some emails, all same on various adresses, in which they repeated to me that in June they entered my pc and took personal data etc... . I would like to know if I have to worry about these emails, even though I think they are sending me this because I have removed the virus and I'm ignoring the situation. Thank you
