Bt Phone Scam Alert

[boxtops]

I have just received this email bearing the BT logo - I am sure it's a phishing email as it has no personal identifier on it. Be alert, I have forwarded it (as they request) to [email protected]

I've heard of others getting this BT email. It certainly seems like a scam

I got one saying it was from BT yesterday wanting me to update my credit card details! It just began with Hello or something similar. I deleted it.

I got something similar from "BT" this morning. Bit of a surprise really because I'm with Virgin Cable. What made me laugh was the email address they sent it to included my ISP's @ntlworld.com.

Needless to say it was already in my Junk mail folder.

I picked up the phone yesterday and it was Alexander from BT asking to speak to Mr T. I asked why BT would want to talk to him rather than to me. He then hung up. How rude was that!
