Just got off the phone discussing a fraudulent account. I get an email confirming 02 have recieved the fraud report that goes straight to my spam folder. Naturally I'm a high alert at the moment, can anyone confirm if this email is genuine? Online verifiers turn up discouraging results.

@mu4 Is the email asking you to click on any links within it?
If you think you’ve been the victim of fraud – whether it’s because you’ve given details to someone over the phone, or clicked on a link in a suspicious text or email there are things you can do:
Contact your bank if you think you may have given out financial information. They can help protect your account and stop transactions.
Change your account and online account passwords. Not just your O2 account. All of them.

Contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
Call your Virgin Media or O2 customer services number if you think somebody’s taken out a contract using your details.
