Thanks for the heads up, El.

Hubby got a fake ITunes one the other day, but sensibly didn't click on the link. A quick call to Apple confirmed it was a phishing email.

I'm not with Virgin Media

 

Hope that h . . . . hang on I AM with Virgin Media 

I'm a bit iffy about a txt I got from 'virgin' giving me a new direct number to my voicemail... Couldn't find anything online about it being fake (I only looked for 2mins tbf) i won't be using the number

I remember getting one of those, Jen. I've never called the number. 

Edit: I've never even set up my Virgin mobile voicemail!

Thanks EL 

See on my Iphone it's already set up... that's why i thought the text was probably a scam.. The number was +44 too

 

As it happens I am with Virgin and I have just negotiated down my bill. But I am never caught out by these types of phishing email, I get so many of them, from "Apple" too.

 

I check my payments/standing orders many times per month.

 

 

I though it was odd that the Virgin Media scanning system for emails didn't identify my email as a phishing one. It generally does identify them and puts them straight into their spam folder.

 

 

 

Since Virgin changed over their email system I have found that the system has a degree of 'learning' to do.

 

I check spam regularly and remove items to my inbox which it has placed in spam. Not masses but certainly it's a bit hit and miss at the moment.
