    hang on there!!!

    Just because an e-mail says its from commts.bt.com and btcomms.com, doesn't mean it originated there! You can spoof an e-mail from any domain in the world, even moneysavingexpert.com

    If you're ever unsure of an e-mail, forward it to the company's customer service and they'll always get back to you with an answer - I'd even suggest ringing them up too.

    Just spoken to BT the top address is a genuine marketing e mail and the bottom one is a spoof email trying to get my account sign on details etc etc

    Also let them know the content of the e-mail if you're unsure - as I said above just because something comes form [EMAIL="accounts@hsbc.com"]accounts@hsbc.com[/EMAIL] with hsbc.com being a genuine domain - it doesn't mean it's actually from HSBC. You can spoof a "from" address on an e-mail account very easily, so you still need to be careful!
