Those message are from scammers - if your Webroot scan is telling you that it hasn't found anything, then you are safe. Don't give any money or access to your computer to those scammers as they are not well intentioned.
Thank You for the info.
You're very welcome! You can also report these sort of scams to the FTC or your phone company. They are trying to work on getting them shut down permanently:
