Crime reduction 

What to do if you receive a malicious email

  • If malicious emails are persistent and from the same source, this may be a criminal offence.
  • Do not delete the emails. Save them onto your computer or produce them as hard copies, if necessary.
  • Keep a record of what you receive and when.
  • Call 101, the 24-hour Thames Valley Police non-emergency number for advice on the most appropriate action.
