Anyone getting lots and lots of McAfee/Norton phishing emails via their Virgin mail service? The spam filter isn't catching it at all. Must be ~10 a day now for the past few weeks.

I'm getting some dated at the origin of UNIX time. Thunderbird blocks the content.

I think there is a massive increase in Spam currently.. While I don't see much spam on my main email address, which is provided through work, according to our email admins, about 80% of the email received by our exchange servers at work is spam, and is filtered.

Just got one thet looks like it's from VM saying my DD has failed and to click on the link otherwise my service will be suspended. :rolleyes:

Link doesn't point to VM either.

I don't pay by DD so I know it's a scam. I always check the origin of such messages.

I've forwarded it to VM's phishing report addy.

I use Gmail and have set up other email accounts to forward to my Gmail account and I deal with them through a browser. The Gmail spam filter does the rest and then I just delete the spam.

Once in a lifetime opportunity there. I wouldn't pass up on the offer.

heck, also not seen one of those for years Paul . . a nice bit of nostalgia there :D

I get silly spam in my second NTL address, mostly now telling me my account at <insert name> -(which I've never had)- needs whatever (click link), or a parcel wasn't delivered (click link), even had a few saying the TV License is due hahaha (click link).

My Gmail address hardly gets any, which is strange as that's the one I use for one off uses (gaming sites, shops etc) :shrug:

Maybe they're legit and all Nige did was reply to an email from someone asking for his help to move £5 million.....
