Phishing EMail.

Dont click on the link !!! Normally leads to spoof website where they capture your details.

The website in question has been reported to Microsoft for containing threats to your computer that might reveal personal or financial information.

SEE this article. http://www.millersmiles.co.uk/report/8301

If it doesn't mention your name , account number and phone number, it is probably not from BT.

The wording is rather odd too - often a sign of a Nigerian scam.

"billing informations are out of order."

I'm sure even BT could manage better grammar than that.

Firefox also says:

"This web site at https://www.driversource.com has been reported as a web forgery and has been blocked based on your security preferences."

Alas, I've had much worse from BT.

Even O2 use these semi-literate people from gawd knows where. We have our own perfectly good semi-literate people here in the UK but foreign-based is cheaper obviously.

Best things with these emails is to ignore all of them. Nothing very important comes via email and if there's is something you need to know go to PayPal, eBay or bank directly by opening a brand new window and login and see your messages there.

I had an e-mail from Amazon - a genuine one, saying:

"Your card has been expired" !!!!!!

Hi Guys

Picked up this post this morning and have sent it off for investigation.

I have been advised that this is a phishing e-mail and we are now opening an investigation to determine its origin. If you should receive any e-mails of this nature please do not click on any links not directly pointing you to the bt.com website.

Thank you for understanding and for bringing this to our attention.
