Strange woman/ odd behaviour/ scam messages?

[Par1sappartment]

This a.m. while upstairs doing tidying I noticed a woman passing our house, cap pulled down, hiding her face. She then turned her back, pressed against the front hedge and at first I thought she was taking a selfie but no, she had the camera panning over our garden, drive and the lower part of the house.
Thought it odd, she then hurriedly walked on and I thought no more about it.
Shortly afterwards I received a scam message saying my parcel wouldn’t be delivered unless I opened a link and put in my information. Neither DH or I had ordered a parcel. Deleted and reported.
In the afternoon I received another scam message on my phone saying to pay up for a parking fine on 31st May, otherwise I would be taken to court and to open a link to enter my banking details so they could take payment! Our car was sat in the drive all day that day. Didn’t open link, deleted and reported again.
Do you think the woman and the scam messages are linked in some way as I’ve never had scam messages before? If so, how?
Should I change all my passwords? Have my devices been hacked?
Thanks in advance.

Not unless your email address is written on your house. Those two sound moms typical junk emails, I think it’s very unlikely they are linked to the event you describe

Here's a thought based on no real knowledge other than that when I have to reconnect to my wifi I see my neighbours systems and not all of them show a padlock. So, is your wifi properly password protected (and not still using the default password) ? I'm thinking that you've assumed she was using her camera, but maybe she was using something else on her phone, looking for a signal. Don't get worried, this is just my uninformed speculation.

If you think it was suspicious then report to 101 or your neighbourhood watch. Least if anything has happened to others around the same time there is a log with a description of the person.

We had a lot of it in our village last year from young people speaking in their mother tongue, in large groups taking photos of houses. It is a very white village full of old people so stuck out as suspicious. A few people mentioned it on the local Facebook page. Turned out they were seasonal farm workers and they'd never been in England before. They were doing selfies in front of big English houses and showing their proud families back home about English life. Absolutely harmless but because it was flagged up all calm resumed (before the locals got their pitchforks and went on a witch hunt). The farm owners just had a word about being a bit more discreet and not scaring little old Doris that she was about to be burgled by big burly men 😂.
