The source of the e-mail will end with @fco.gov.uk

Information about visa application decisions are confidential and are not divulged to VFS. As such messages from VFS will never give any indication of the result as they simply do not know.

I have not so far heard of anyone receiving an e-mail or sms giving any refusal information.
I actually figured it out already that messages from UKBA and VFS differ...yet when it comes from UKBA it is more obvious than from VFS. Thanks a lot Terpe
