    Just got this on my work email (which Eir don't have, which was the first of many red flags!)

    402643.png

    Its from "Eir <ei@support.helpdesk.com>" which other than the lack of an r looks like a reasonable enough email address

    "your latest Telstra Media bill has failed", Telstra Media being an Aussie service provider

    And as you can see in the image the Eir url on the bottom actually links to the one in the text box.

    Just be careful with links in emails!
