Hello,

    The only things that you can do is to forward the email to Virgin Media's dedicated mailbox –  phishing@virginmedia.com and also to the National Cyber Security Centre via report@phishing.go.uk

    If you get an error message when you forward it to the VM address it means VM have blocked that version of the email since you first received it. That may well mean that you will not be able to forward it to the NCSC.

    Merely flagging the emails as spam will not stop future versions of the email.

    Also, scammers often make subtle changes to their emails over time that are not necessarily visible to the eye but fool spam filters into letting them through. So you may still see very similar emails in the future.
