I don't know if anyone else is getting them, but I am getting some spoof
emails which look just like the TfL transport update emails, but whose
links all point to some site at xmr3.com which I haven't visited, but
for which Google throws up some extremely suspicious looking results.

It's a bit worrying as although people are now more aware of spoofs of
emails from online banks or shopping sites, I doubt they'd expect spoofs
of TfL ones. Very underhand.

I've sent a comment off to TfL about it but I doubt there's much they
can do.

They're genuine electronic mail from TfL, although they are actually
sent by an outsourcing company, 'Premiere Global Services'. xmr3.com is
one of the domains they use to send out mail - visit it and you'll be
rediredted to the homepage of the company.

I've had three 'travel update' emails with regards to the bombings and
the subsequent changes in tube services. In the past I've also had
emails with information about engineering work on my nearest
underground line, about the launch of Pre Pay capping, and the change
of a nearby bus route from Routemaster to bendy bus. It looks like
they've got my details from my Oyster card records.
