VM scam email

Just received a email from VM to say
Dear Virgin Media customer,

You can access your profile at ------------------

Thank you for using Virgin Media

When I clicked on the link ( that I have removed ) I had a load of Russian writing come up .
Be careful looks like some ones scamming.

Not 'news' as such, so moved to 'Security & Virus Discussion' - thanks for the heads-up though, appreciated :tu:

The give away. Virgin Media know who I am and when they email my e-bill it contains my real name. This also applies to paypal, banks and so on.

Anything *Dear <blah blah> customer* can be ignored.
