Virgin Media Customers Hit By Fake E-Mail Scam
Posted: 14th Dec, 2007 By: MarkJ
Cable Forum reports that some of Virgin Media's customers, specifically those with an 'ntlworld.com' e-mail address, have been sent a fake (phishing) message that appears to come from the operator itself.

Customers receiving the mail should disregard and delete it.
