Egg.com scam

Hi,
Not sure where to post this so mods please move if in the wrong place. I've received three emails, supposedly from egg.com, asking me to update my account details if I don't my services with Egg will be restricted. I was also provided with a link to do this. I immediatly thought scam as I've had similar from PayPal which turned out to be a scam, so I contacted Egg whom confirmed that they do not send this sort of email. They told to delete them and do a virus scan. Egg pointed out that these emails are sent at random, to anyone, in the hope that the scammers will hit the jackpot and catch a unsuspecting customer. I am a customer and knew nothing about this so why aren't Egg.com warning their customers then of this possible scam?
