scam email warning
 

Just a swift warning to everyone - my other half just received this very official looking email - it asks (as usual) for all your bank details and pin numbers.

I know most will treat this with the contempt it deserves, but I would hope a few without web savvy will be aware of the nature of it.

A link provided, takes you to a very good copy of the Virgin website where it asks for the bank details. Even the email address is very good!

Be warned people, Virgin would never ask for so much personal information by email.
