BT phishing e mail
Speller
Posts: 1 Newbie
Very believable e mail from ' bt. [EMAIL="athome@bt.com'"]athome@bt.com'[/EMAIL] asking for confirmation of bank details, as the direct debit payment had not been successful.
Noticed a spelling mistake then got suspicious about the information being requested (account and card details, date of birth, mother's maiden name etc.) Did not submit any information, but is clicking on the link enough to cause me a problem?

Yes, clicking through may have installed malware. Run an MBAM scan to be safe.
No genuine provider would ever ask you to provide bank or personal details via an email!No free lunch, and no free laptop
