I received an email last Friday (20th Dec) seeming to come from TalkTalk saying:

 

TallkTalk

                                For Everyone

 

We are disconnecting your old version of our Mailbox email accounts as of December, 22nd 2024.

LINK REMOVED FOR SECURITY

 

Do not reply directly to this email as you won't get a response
Thanks,
@ 2024

 

Does anyone know if it is genuine? It looks fishy to me.

Thanks for any advice. William

Hello fr8ys, Thank you for your quick response. It's nice to know that I was right to be suspicious. It looks quite convincing with logos and "decoration" on the page. I apologise about the dangerous link. I copied and pasted the original email and it didn't occur to me that the link would remain active. I should have known better. W

Hi,

It's a scam.

If you hover over the senders details it's also unlikely to be a TalkTalk email address.

Whatever you do, do not click on any links.

 

I have removed the link you posted as it is dangerous to you and other users. If you have enough suspicions that it's a scam email you should never share such links on an open forum where unsuspecting users may click on it.

TalkTalk have requested that spam mail be reported to them.

Thank you.
