    Hi. I got the same myself. I am wondering would Eir care to Air on this please. If a scam, please advise.
    If it is a real notification, well its an all time low.
    If real, that would be very petty. Hopefully not though.

    Eir Mods. Can you advise.

    Hi All,

    Yes it's not from eir and is classed as of spamful nature.

    I'm sorry for missing this thread earlier.

    Thanks
    Al

    Tatranska,

    paste the entire source of the email. I suspect the real link in it is something very different.

    They normally are, hence I didn't click on it. :) Was on the phone at the time so couldnt see the url properties.
    I've deleted the emails at this stage
