    If these messages are coming from your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, etc.), then they might be fake messages, which are sometimes sent to scam people. If they are system messages, you might need to ask a Microsoft store technician or a tech-savvy friend what is wrong.
