This is a strange one and BT are looking into it. My BT email address has not been active for some 6/7 years and did not have the “v” in it.
I’ve run a full scan on all my devices and they are safe.

Mountfield 2020 Calendars still available
Just to remind you all that there are a few of the Mountfield 2020 Calendars available.
They are sold to support Mountfield Village Hall and at just £5.00 are great value and would make a perfect Christmas gift.

Christmas Waste Collection
As usual over the Christmas period there will be changes to waste collection arrangements with no collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve. From Monday 13.01.20 all waste and recycling collections will return to their normal days.
This year RDC will not be sending out calendars to residents, thereby saving £16,000 in postage alone.
To find out when your waste and recycling collections will take place over the Christmas period, please go to the links below – you can also subscribe to My Alerts and RDC will email you weekly reminders and local information.
