I used to be with NTL and they have been taken over by Virgin. Since the take-over, I can no longer use Outlook as my email software. I have to receive emails via Virgin Media. It is a totally cr*p service and for the past three weeks we have been getting upto five scam emails per day telling us we've won a lottery/been selected for an oline prize/been left money in a will or asking us to help a dying prince/nun/deposed duke retreive money from a secret bank account containing millions, offering to cut us in.

How can I prevent these emails? I never recieved any via Outlook so is it something to do with Virgin Media having less efficient screening? Can anyone help??

I can;t use outlook neither since you have to pay for the service now ( unless you got in before charge appeared)

I am with Virgin (previously NTL) and can honestly say I've NEVER had an email of this kind. Have you got decent anti-spam software? The only thing I'm not happy about with Virgin is that they've started charging for their helpline which was free with NTL.

I'll have to check out what protective software we have. Thanks GC.

You are expected to pat for Outlook Express these days?
