Virus Spoofing Deepsea

There are viruses and phishing scams about that pretend to come from the administrator of your email account. If you have a deepsea email address, they may appear to come from deepsea.co.uk.

Some examples of the sort of message are:

"We regret to inform you that your account has been suspended due to the violation of our site policy, more info is attached."

"The original message has been included as an attachment."

There are many variations of this. Note how the text is generic, does not give specifics, and encourages you to open the attachment. Also there is no signature at the bottom of the email, it does not say clearly who it comes from.
