Re: Cannot report an email I received to Virgin because it 'is virus'?
Hi Robertlain, Have you tried saving the spam as "Save as file" (or "Save as EML" if you're using a separate email app / interface other than webmail)?. That prevents the scum-mail from being blocked by Virgin if you're trying to send it to "phishing @ gov.uk". I've been using "phishing @ gov.uk" for a while, but have found SpamCop (.net) to be a very useful place to send crud to (saved as EML) and very affective. For some reason when (if) you're registering on SpamCop, your own Virgin email address needs to be added to the Mailhost list by requesting it to be added by them rather than the usual method of setting it up yourself. Just hit the Help tab and send in a request at the bottom of the page. A bit long-winded, but worth it to cut the cr*p from getting to you. Free too 👍10Views0likes0CommentsRe: Problem reporting spam to Spamcop.net
By the way ..... if anyone else reads this & contacts SpamCop to request "Special Dispensation" .... DON'T do what I did, after being informed they'd granted permission. I didn't realise they'd set up the mailhost for the troublesome email following my request, so deleted the mailhost, and re-initiated attempting to add it myself..... it doesn't work !!! Had to email them back & grovel. Again, they sorted it out immediately. Be warned 😂32Views0likes0CommentsRe: Delivery and installation issues: please post your updates here.
Finally - Yodel have my package in their hands 🤗 Hoo-flippin'-rahh (ordered replacement TV 360 on 4-12-24). I'd contacted Virgin via chat earlier today to see if there were any updates on handing my kit over & check to see that I would be due a refund on the time I'd been without TV service. Assistant (human) confirmed I would be compensated for the missing time / TV.471Views2likes0CommentsRe: Delayed QuickStart Kit Delivery – Confusion Between VM and Yodel
I'm another that's never been contacted by Virgin via text or email (& yes ... I check my spam folders regularly, which is where I still find email alerts about all of these forum messages !!). Finally - Yodel have my package in their hands 🤗 hoo-flippin'-rahh (ordered replacement TV 360 on 4-12-24).262Views1like2Comments
