I've just had one of these and even my email programme flagged it up as 
junk! It linked to 
harmonique-voetreflex.nl/components/com/mysso.virginmedia.com/cgi/billing/requestAssertion.action/national.virginmedia.com/start/ 
in this instance. Did you bother reporting yours to Virgin, not worth 
the bother I suppose.

No I didn't bother to report it Alec, I doubt there's anything they can do 
to prevent it.  These scams just keep popping up from different sources. 
The only defence is to stay alert and vet your incoming carefully.  I use 
Mailwasher to do that so I see any false links immediately and can delete 
the crap without it ever getting near to my reader.
