What is the matter with ntl, talking to you like you are mad. They must know viruses come in disguise, they should be thanking you.

One of my exes used to answer the phone in a place like that and he didn't have two brain cells to rub together sometimes either

I get quite a few of this type of thing from Ebay and they have a special department to deal with spoof e-mails - they are always very grateful for any information on this type of thing - so should NTL be!!

I got exactly the same one as Nikcola from AOL. I went to they're online help and said it was suspect so gave me a couple of e-mail addresses to send it to. Does NTL not have any e-mail addresses you can forward spam emails to.
