Just a really horrible e-mail - report to police?
No this isnt a joke in line with the Haggis/Hulk saga.
In my hotmail inbox i got an email titled `ever see kiddie porn?` and theres a link in it too
Obviously i havnt clicked on it but i want to forward it to the police - but can i find an e-mail address on the Cambridgeshire Constabulary`s website? Can i f*ck.... >:(
Also is this (Marksparks?) something the police would take seriously or would they just see this as Viagra-esque spam mail and do nothing about this.
I am really really pi**ed off about this >:( >:( >:(

Report any of that type of stuff to the Internet Watch Foundation:

I had the same, so I guess they are doing the rounds. I didn`t open it so don`t know (nor want to know¦) how "genuine" it was. Mailwasher deleted it.
I guess I should have reported it, but do they take any notice and to whom? Is there not some on-line official place we can inform apart from spam busters?
Even if it wasn`t "genuine", it is still a sick heading to find in your mail box.
Angry too. >:(

most likely this email is to draw punters who are foolish enough - and download spyware to their PCs. Alternatively it might be Police doing a sting op?
I think www.police.uk is the main site - might be helpful.
I agree with you though about being piffed off and the sickness of the email

That`s dreadful mate, I would ring your local station and ask, I may be wrong but I think there is a specific national task-force dedicated to this very thing and your local station should have all the details you need to report it,
Good luck

Nice one - was on hold to the local police station when i clicked your link to the foundation
Theres a page on there with a listing of all the spams doing the rounds and mine was listed up there - apprently its been reported already so good news i suppose.
I just hope they catch the f**kers responsible for this - no matter where they are. >:( >:(

I have, thankfully, never had one of those mails. The thought of them turns my stomach.

Me too, I get plenty of "we can help you get laid, heres some porn" emails which I just ignore, but that is just sickening. To quote someone on here the other day, "Some people should be shot"

This was the first of this kind. It was via my Hotmail account. Other e-mail addresses didn`t get it.
