Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi AllThis is specifically for UK users with a BT account. I received an email with a BT email address saying my account was out of order with the usual click here to up-date your details, the heading was "Your new BT update is available to view online" on a usual BT email letterhead. I believe it is a pshishing attempt and have sent it off to BT for verification. I receive half a dozen of these a month which get through my spam filter, but this is the most convincing yet.
