Hi All, I recieved an e.mail today from a gary.mcglouglin@ tiscali.co.uk with the title "TalkTalk - Refresh Activation!" (Screenshot attached) within the e.mail is a button to Refresh Your Account and another link providing more info .

 

I know there is the big upgrade coming and this could well be legit with but as this e.mail has not come from the recognisable info.customer @talktalk.co.uk I wanted to check before clicking on any link/button. It looks like a TalkTalk communication - but we all know that doesn't mean it IS from TalkTalk and an announced upcoming mailbox upgrade could be an ideal opportunity for scammers to harvest lots of personal data.

 

Regards

It's a good imitation by a scammer, @td123.

 

To actually sign into webmail, only ever use Talktalk's website links.

 

Current information on the upgrade is here:
