It's a known issue and is being looked into.

Just delete them and don't click on any links.

If they are TalkTalk phishing mails,
TalkTalk have requested that spam mail be reported to them.
How to do this can be found here

Hi Davie425, have you checked your outgoing/sent to see if those mails come from you? If they don't, your mail address has been harvested and is being spoofed to send spam out. If your mail address is being spoofed there's nothing you can do about it.
