Phishing email
Beware, there may be a phishing email doing the rounds.
Received one this morning purporting to come from Virgin Media (VirginMedia.B2KJL.10787@emails.image.email.virgin media.com)
Subject 'billing failure'.
Message basically saying they could not process the latest bill so please click on this link and confirm your billing details.
Yeh right!

Re: Phishing email

They could have tried a bit harder...

Re: Phishing email
You'd be surprised how many people actually mess up and do as instructed in these emails.
Its a real worry.

Re: Phishing email
You'd be surprised how many people actually mess up and click links in emails specifically instructing them NOT to click those links. One of our staff forwarded a phishing mail with a note to NOT click it, this is a scam, and they STILL did it...

Re: Phishing email
Their is anthother phishing scam doing the rounds claiming to be from HMRC.
If you come across this, forward it to HMRC, and delete it.
Got the warning from my union.
