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 by clicking here.

If you have already confirmed your billing information then please disregard this message as we are processing the changes you have made.

Regards,
Virgin Media Billing Department[/b]

Thanks for your co-operation[/b][/b]

Seriously, what kind of muppet still clicks on links in emails asking for bank account/billing details?

thats it, but this was only asking for peoples virgin login, i like the paypal ones from nigeria :D

How the hell did you get a photo of me at work JJ?

Sneaky little virus program that takes random pictures from people web cams :D

What's the link? The links are always good especially when they're fuck all like the genuine one. I also suspect it'll only be Internet Explorer users getting caught out by this - although maybe the latest version has some kind of phishing filter, I don't know.

Hehe, i've just found this same email in my spam folder.

The link they give you is

Well i gave them some details alright. Logged in with you'[email protected]

The only gutting thing is it wouldn't let me put my birthday as yesterday :D

Oooh I got that VM email yesterday.

Obviously being the uber techno wizz that I am, figured it was a bit suss and binned it.

Would anyone know whether it's possible to get a Sky Sports 'day pass' (or equivalent) through Virgin Media?  I need something like this for the home leg next Monday.  But have a feeling I may need to take out a subscription for 30 days minimum.

Could anyone confirm?  Thanks.

You can buy them online and watch through your PC on a one or seven day pass for £7 or £11 respectively:

Go.to.pub.

Wait, you mean these kind of emails are scams? maybe I won't get the quazillion quid a Nigerian said I would. Damn.

I seem particularly attractive to god fearing Nigerian girls whose fathers have been murdered whils having access to money which evil uncles are after - I thought it was just me....

Can't.  I.have.to.look.after.the.kids.(who.will.probably.end.up.staying.up.late.to.watch.with.me).

I bought a Skybox F5s on eBay for £35 or so and you can buy access to EVERYTHING on sky for about £5 a month on eBay. Or you can get access for £1.99 for a couple of days. Smug face is smug.

Sorry to keep returning to this.  But...

If I get a Sky Sports Day Pass through Now TV, is there any way I would be able to watch tomorrow on my TV via Virgin Media?  Otherwise, I'd be watching on the home computer in another room.  Would prefer to watch on the bigger screen, obviously.

You could stream via a PS3/4 or Xbox 360/One, if you've got one.

Sadly not.  Thanks though.  Never mind.  I can watch on the home computer.
