No one is looking at your screen.
The email message is a very common scam attempt.
Delete the message.
Do not interact with the message or the sender.
Yes, this is all part of the scam. The sender of the message has purchased passwords from previous website hacks (yahoo, LinkedIn, etc). They then try to extort money by pretending to have knowledge about their victims. They know absolutely nothing about you, unless you provide personal or financial information. Don’t be that victim.
As stedman1 said this is a very common spam attempt. He is not accessing your screen or camera, the scam doesn't require it. It just requires people to fall for the scam. I get like one of these emails a month. All scams.
Did you give them your phone number or did they also have that in their email from the hack data they bought? You would need to check with WhatsApp support to see if someone accessed your account. If your are using the same password on many sites stop doing that and start changing them now.

Check your email trash bin, or email providers website for a possibility of retrieving the email. Although, I doubt very much that reporting it to anyone would be of any value.
i forgot to mention he put the password of the website of not is that bad, i mean i know that account is gone but is there any way he can access anything via that website or is it safe to say its impossible. That website didnt have anything apart of my email and a password. so i still dont know if it is possible for him to access it, if yes is there a way to check if someone is mirroring my screen onto his and watching my moves??
is there a way to retrieve the email as i deleted it and i would like to report it, i know it wont do much but it might still be good. Or do i leave the email incase it could put anything on my device?
One last thing is there a way to check if people accessed my accounts like apple id watsapp and phone number from another device? If yes is there to disconnect them. Will they even appear on my screen if they are connected
so there is no way he can see my screen couse he sayd he took the video from the camera. Is that a confermation that its impossible?
I hope thats correct thank you
so is there no way to check it?
so is it safe to say this is all a scam?
Yes.
How can check who's looking at my screen and camera?
