I am presuming the author studied English at Oxford?
Do do think was a waste of time?
I have sent it on to the phishing police. Was that the right place? Should I forward it to any other body?

I had this email (or one very similar) a few years ago. It in no way applied to me.

I just deleted it assuming it was some sort of pathetic attempt at blackmail that was being sent to random email addresses.

I hope nobody was affected by it

Did yours also have an attachment? Mine did but it had my my DH’s name on it so I didn’t show it on this thread.
I was itching to download it to see what DH has been up to but managed to restrain myself?

When I used a laptop I used to have a sticker over my webcam as they can sometimes be turned on remotely, or accidentally left on.
I never did anything suspish, but I still didn't/don't like the idea of someone being able to watch me without my knowledge!!
Better safe than sorry!
