VIRGIN HACKER

[Bossman2]

Anyone received one of these hacker emails lately

Just trying to see how many virgin customers this has happened to

These totally bogus spam / scam emails are very common & best just deleted and forgotten.

Can someone from Virgin send me a direct message as I need an issue resolving which has been caused by this

Thanks in advance

Absolutely, various versions of them have been doing the rounds for years., anyone with an email address is likely to get one.

Here's an almost identical example received a few months ago by an Outlook.com email user. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/i-got-this-email-from-hacker

There is a similar (and colourful) thread from the OP here by way of context.

Why did you call your post VIRGIN HACKER ?

You've just received a scam email.

Hi Coenoby, there's a little more to this than just that email, I've asked a VM staff member to direct message me so I can discuss with them further 👍.

I've also raised a complaint

Ok.

One of the Forum Team will be contacting you in the next day or so.

@Jpeg 1 I will explain that to a virgin staff member, I did say this is not just regarding that email, there's quite a bit more to it including internal changes on my Virgin account
