    If you receive an email from supposedly the Greater Manchester Police, do not open! Do not click on the box to view the camera action as this will disable your computer and attack your online accounts.

      A good principle, that is the recommended way to do things, is to never click on any links or attachments in emails unless you have been expecting them. If you haven't been expecting them but they appear to come from someone you know then you can always email them and ask if they had sent it. :dbgrtmb:
