Just had a phishing email apparently from Cyber Security in Washington DC saying I'm due $5 million and it only costs $390 to register my cash card to claim it!!! The name is Andrew McCabe but the email address was ria.huang, sent to O2 phishing.

Hi @Anonymous You are the 2nd person today to report a phishing email (though both different) You did the correct thing sending it on to O2 Phishing...It's what the company ask clients to do http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=Companion,question=ref(User):str(Broadband),T=Broadband_Case,CASE=45660

I must away and register...
So many of these phishing emails and texts now. Seems to me that the networks and official bodies are powerless and have inadequate means to stop them.
