Hello Very Insightful Person, on virginmedia email it does show the 3 horizontal dashes anywhere on the page. Could you tell me what a source looks like? 

Kind regards

Your reply is unclear, are you seeing ☰ or not?

Are you using webmail or other email client; if latter which?

Hello,

I am using virginmedia email on a laptop. I see the 3 dashes and I see view source. However I am told that is not the email source, it is the BTC whatever that is. I need to find out where a scam email came from? The "From" looks genuine but apparently scammers can copy genuine addresses into the email, so that you are led to believe it's from a genuine company.

Hope this helps

Who has told you it is the BTC you need?

FYI: just as GBP indicates a value is expressed in Great British Pound, BTC indicates a value is expressed in Bitcoin

To determine where an email originated and it delivery path use a header analyser service. For example:

• in webmail select the email to be analysed
• select ☰ > View source
  
• click anywhere in email source text and press Ctrl + A then Ctrl + C to copy it all
• right click on following link and select open in new tab:
  Email Header Analyzer, RFC822 Parser - MxToolbox
• click in Paste Header field and press Ctrl + V to paste previously copied text into field
• select Analyze Header
• in the results under Relay Information will be listed where the email originated and its delivery path to your mailbox
• when finished with the result make sure to select Permanently forget this email header

As my learned colleague用心棒 has guessed, someone seems to be trying to sell you Bitcoins – and they will no doubt readily accept your credit card and/or bank details in payment for same. Best advice I can give you is -

DO NOT TOUCH THIS WITH A BARGEPOLE.

A scammer has probably picked up your address details from the contact list of one of his recent victims.
