Never click on a link in an email message to sign or log into your online accounts.instead, go directly to the website, by typing the website address in your web browser address bar or use popular search engines to find the website.

This will prevent you from going to a fake or phishing website, which will steal your username and password once you attempt to sign-in or login.

I was contacted by someone who had an Eastern accent - told I was in debt and needed to pay up to date. I rang off and questioned Virgin about this. No debt. Where are they getting our phone numbers from? What is Virgin doing to protect our data?

I received this email yesterday allegedly from my ex husband. I opened the attachment which appears to be about making money. I tried to send an email back but it wasn't his e mail address.
I have since confirmed it wasn't sent from him. Can you advise if I put myself at risk by opening the link?
Thank you
This is the e mail and link
Good afternoon Anne

Just visting the link will not put your computer or yourself at risk. But, you put yourself at risk if you visit the link, download and install malicious apps or software, or submit your personal or financial information on the website that you are taken to.
