Virgin Media refund scam email

Hi all

another phishing email just dropped into my inbox as follows:

Dear Customer,

You have received a refund of 68.15 GBP from Virgin Media on 11/10/2010.

You haven't updated your personal information for 6 months. Please log in to your
TD Waterhouse account to re-active your account and complete the transaction:

Please be vigilant when opening emails claiming to be from TD Waterhouse.
Phishing emails are designed to trick you into entering your account details online.
TD Waterhouse will never ask for your details in this way.
