Re: More Rubbish From The Scammers
Those whose details were made available to scammers because of the Virgin Media data breach need to take extra care because some of the details will be correct and may lull them into a false sense of security.

Re: More Rubbish From The Scammers
You should always take care, there are data breaches everyday, the VM issue was a very small drop in the ocean.

Re: More Rubbish From The Scammers
Yes - AMAZON PRIME - has returned, renewing my Prime at a fraction of the actual cost, then wife got call about £hundreds charge to our Visa card. We know that's not true and even if it was we don't get calls like that.

Your TV Licence will expire !!! You must renew it now, or additional fees will be applied.
We're sorry to let you know that the TV Licence could not be automatically renewed.
Something went wrong with your Direct Debit payment.

Because you didn't keep up with your payments, you risk to become unlicensed.
You can update your licence quickly and easily at tvlicensing.co.uk/update-direct
Please take care of this straight away or we may be forced to pass your details to a debt collection agency.
Please keep this email safe, because it tells you how to access your licence online.
Please Set up a new Direct Debit now
Remember, you need to let us know if your personal information changes or switch to another bank.
