OK I would have thought virgin mail would have spotted that one, but no it got through. I knew it was spam because it was sent to the wrong email address.

so the next question is if I mark as spam will it stop virgins emails getting through?

Phew !!!! Damn you have to be so careful!!!!! 

Actually, it is really simple.

All you have to remember is  never click on a link to your account sign in page in any email.

It does not matter whether you think the email is a scam or not.

If you are asked in an email to sign into your online account always use the bookmark or shortcut that you normally use.

Follow that simple rule and you cannot go far wrong.Smiley Wink

I received this scam email today, it looked very convincing so I checked my payments had gone through OK.

I have forwarded the email to phishing, the address was webteam@virginmedia.com.org , be aware.

I also received a couple of these scam emails recently.
