Strange email from Virgin_Media02
I've had an email this morning (which I haven't opened) from the above with the subject: info@consumer.net - total change to your bill. For one thing, I don't know why this email has come to my email address as they all go to my husband's address, for another I can't understand why talktalk are involved with our bill and thirdly, I don't know who the heck derek hambler is???? Has anyone had anything similar to this and can the moderators throw any light on it please. I have sent it to reportphishing@gov.uk and talktalk but the copy I sent to Virgin at phishing@virginmedia.com was returned by the system administrator as an invalid address!!! All very strange!
[MOD EDIT: Title (potential spoofed email)]
The Derek email is spam. I have sent a test message to the VM "phishing" address and it went through okay for me. The acknowledgement does say:
If you are trying to forward an email via Virgin Media Webmail and it is rejected due to containing Spam content, this is because there is outbound spam filtering on your webmail account.
