BT phishing

Hi all,
I just thought I would highlight a couple of phishing emails from BT that look VERY legitimate.
One was saying that my account was in danger of being suspended.
There was a link to a seemingly legitiamte site.

Upon closer inspection the emails were not adressed to me.

Hope it helps

    I assume you mean "purporting to be from BT" rather than "from BT"
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    I have to confess, I did mean that, so thank you for clarifying.
    But they were very convincing, and I am very aware of all the other emails of that nature from Banks etc, but this caught me off guard, hopefully not many others.
