@F10rrell, NEVER post anything that displays your personal information such as email address etc on the public forum.

The above is obviously a phishing scam. You can see that the sender address is obviously not genuinely Talktalk.

Report it as phishing. This may be moved to Containment shortly, due to the links it displays etc.

[Edit: all phishing message now removed]

Hi F10rrell

By posting the content of a scam email not only have you revealed to the world your own email address and name you've posted the scammer's links so anyone clicking on those links is immediately vulnerable.

I've removed the entire content for your security and the security of anyone else reading your post. You may think it was helpful but please just report to TalkTalk in the normal way. As your email address has been made public you should be on guard for further phishing attempts and lots of spam.
