It is doubtful that Microsoft would send you a link - sounds more like an attempt to take over your computer. Could you perhaps explain in more detail how the "link" appeared such as in a browser or just on your desktop, etc.

Go to Device manager > Camera > click on the > symbol to expand the list if necessary > right click on camera entry > Properties > General tab Device status box.
