Bit of a heads up.....

this was addressed to the correct email addy for the account.

Just had an email from "Virgin media <arjun@blsinternational.org>"

Pretty certain its a scam, due to the return address above, plus I dont belive they would terminate in 3 days notice anyway.

email said:
Virgin Media is unable to process your last bill. The payment processor detect that some of the billing information associated with your account has expired or missing.

Your service is now pending for automatic disconnection on:

5 February 2020

If you want to continue the Virgin Media service you need to sign in and complete the billing verification.

Start the billing verification

Once you have complete the billing verification, your bill will be processed shortly and the automatic disconnection removed.

Thank you for being a Virgin Media customer!

Kind regards,
The Virgin Media team

If your email provider has a report phishing or fraud button press it, this is by far the best thing you can do against phishing emails.
