Such message notifications can be easily disabled by going to Settings menu in Microsoft Teams and disabling Channel mentions.

Also, there is nothing to worry about if you get a notification in Microsoft Teams reading “Emily Kirby is trying to reach you”. These are not spam messages or harmful in any way to your computer.
