Possible Phishing email

Today I got this email supposedly from Virgin Media.
I have paid them this month with no problems, so i'm assuming it is either a phishing attempt or a balls up by VM.

Judging by the poor English, my guess is that it's a phishing attempt.

I also got that (twice) last night.

I would like to think that VM would tell you to log on to your account, rather than tell you to click onto a link.

It is a phishing e-mail, because VM owe me a huge credit due to something they messed up, and my account should be in credit anyway. But I decided to check on line, but the billing is down at the moment. So I checked my bank account, and there is no record of an attempt to take money by VM.

Ignore it!

Definately is a phishing email as I have contacted VM about it.
Is there a forwarding email I can send it on for VM attention?

Thanks

I've searched for an address to report VM phishing e-mails before, but never found one.

I have an e-mail for someone who deals with internet fraud at the police. So I just forward all phishing e-mails to her. So I would contact your local police to see if you can do the same.

Already received a read receipt from the police. So hopefully they will act on it.

A list of known phishes can seen at http://netreport.virginmedia.com/netreport/,and you can report new ones there.

It looks like they already know about this one.
