Re: Is this genuine

@Kenwj  It is a scam attempt.  See example 5 in this latest post from the security team:

If the annoyance reporting the phishing email to phishing@virginmedia.com is that during the send process a Spam Content Found warning is show then this means Virgin Media are already aware of it and have started to block it.

Checkout posts by Int-Sec on the Security matters forum for the latest news on such targeted scams.
