    Just got this reasonable quality email from a phisher - it bypassed my spam filters.  The Spanish at the end and a UK It support were the giveaways.  But you'd need to scroll down to see them.

    The email address is:  support@eicom.net   


    Dear eir client,
    Eircom is now eir. Our name has changed but your email account 
    details have not.
    You'll need to confirm your email address.


    Please follow the link below and log in to webmail :

    http://www.mky.com/eircom/logintoEircom/confirmEmail.html







    Your action is needed.
    Once your email address is confirmed, you will be able to use all 
    our services again.

    Hi Bicycle 


    thanks for getting in touch. I'm afraid this looks to be a scam. We have been made aware of the increase in scam emails & calls the past number of months. I have passed this onto the relevant team. We would never contact you & ask you to log into your computer or ask you for personal information. I would recommend deleting this email & not following any links. You can view further information on the scam emails/ calls online here;http://support.eir.ie/article/phishingalert. 




    - Stacey
