SPAM EMAILS
Spam Emails have started again from fikigadgets, frikicars,enjoyfamily, travelwop to my ntlworld.com email.
These may be fake? , although the companies mentioned do appear to have websites.
These spam emails cover a wide range of subjects such as casino, dating services, and all sorts of services and offers, I suspect they are dangerous as virgin mark then as spam emails
The casino/gambling emails arrive often, several every day and are suspicious.
The same emails occurred in 2023 with a different sender domain, but stopped and now restarted with several new domains, from a server in Spain but the companies have a UK London address.
The spam emails state that I am subscribed to receive them, so I am not sure who is subscribing me to receive these spam emails, I presume it is due to my old ntlworld.com email being on many data breaches numbering x 16 leaks.
I get at least 4 or more each day/night, Virgin are marking them as spam so they can be put into the spam folder.
Also unusual my gmail.com was subscribed to the same dating service ourtime but with a image that was not me and the location was wrong also, and had been running for a month as a live account and getting contacts, so that was very odd as it requires registration, so they must know my other emails addresses. As it used my gmail, I was able to change the password, login and delete the account, but worrying that someone is messing about with my emails. Also I found out that hackers can set up fake websites which are versions of real websites.
I think virgin should change the policy and allow old legacy email to be deleted, now that they advise using a third party email to login to the VM account and email which I do anyway. Having my old ntlworld.com email just allows scammers to continue to abuse my VM email, at least with my other third party free emails I do have the option to delete and email or change the email address if I need to which I have done in some cases in needed to protect myself,unfortunately VM offer no help to get rid of these old legacy email that are spammed all the time.
Of course, sorry had a senior moment there. My NTL mailboxes were from my "closed" account and were still going long, long after the 90 days. I did return with the newer system of a 3rd party email, but have since left again. I stopped using my old NTL mailboxes from VM a few years before I left the first time.
Apologies for the misinformation !
