The Hotmail email address is the big giveaway that this is Spam.

TalkTalk would never use a Hotmail address, on using TalkTalk in their addresses.

Absolutely not, @pistnbroke.

Crooks are trying everything they can think of, playing on customers' insecurities about their email service in the light of changes evolving at Talktalk.

They will NEVER send you something important to you "as from" Joe blogs or whoever @ Hotmail etc etc.

That email address was possibly harvested or spoofed and used by the scammers ....

Talktalk will always send from a recognised official Talktalk address.
