Scam?

[Matt12]

Hi everyone, 

is it possible that someone contacts me by email, pretending to be someone else, and then suggests that I set up zoom meeting to hack me? Is it possible for someone to access your system via a Zoom meeting?  

Maybe I am being paranoid! Someone contacted me related to work (I found their profile online, but I don't know if the email is legit), and was keen to speak to me about the matter online.  I tried to set up a Zoom meeting twice and they have not shown up so it's a bit strange. It is possible that they just forgot twice but anyway I thought someone might know if there were any Zoom related scams like this. 

Thanks in advance,

@Matt12 - You would have to enable the meeting to allow someone to control your system and authorize their access.  They cannot just control or hack your machine through a Zoom meeting.
