This was in my inbox this morning. I've deleted all the links and replaced them with x's so no one clicks on them. If I moused over the links they all start with o2.davinci-crm and I won't copy the rest for obvious reasons. Anyone else receive a mail like this? @Martin-O2 @Marjo are you aware of this?

That's why I asked Martin for an email address @jonsie, so I could forward the mail for them to be able to investigate the URL those links are pointing to. The screen grab will tell them nothing.

Thanks @jonsie

 

@Bambino We don't currently have an external Community email that I have quick access too. Could you please drop me PM with the URL's in question so I can pass them along to the team looking into this.

@Martin-O2 Don't you think that reply, from the admin of a major telecommunications company sounds a little absurd?

Any dodgy emails can be sent to phishing@o2.com for investigation.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Surely o2 would prefer to have the full message headers from a spoofed email account, and the best way to get them is to email them.

 

I have to agree that not having an o2 email address is a bit well backwards..

The clue was in external, O2 no longer have any external email service (for the media team or for us mere mortals) since they shut the server down a number of years back. For obvious reasons they wouldn't want to put their internal servers at risk. I'm guessing phishing@o2.com uses a protected server.
