I recieved the following email on Monday from [EMAIL="VirginMedia.B2KJL.10787@emails.image.email.virginmedia.com"]VirginMedia.B2KJL.10787@emails.image.email.virginmedia.com[/EMAIL]
Being a good MSE girl, I forwarded the email (without responding in anyway to it myself) to contact@virginmedia who have emailed me back today to let me know it isn't from them. So if anyone gets this email, it's a scam.
Dear Customer,
This e-mail has been sent to you by Virgin Media to inform you that we were unable to process your most recent payment of bill. This might be due to either of the following reasons:
1. A recent change in your personal information. (eg: billing address, phone)
2. Submitting incorrect information during bill payment process.
Due to this, to ensure that your service is not interrupted, we request you to confirm and update your billing information today
If you have already confirmed your billing information then please disregard this message as we are processing the changes you have made.

Please remove the (obviously bogus) by clicking here link in your post.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0
