VM scam email

[Rainman]

Just received a email from VM to say
Dear Virgin Media customer,

Thank you for using Virgin Media

When I clicked on the link ( that I have removed ) I had a load of Russian writing come up .
Be careful looks like some ones scamming.

Not 'news' as such, so moved to 'Security & Virus Discussion' - thanks for the heads-up though, appreciated

Anything *Dear <blah blah> customer* can be ignored.
