Lesley Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks Sha...........I expect they get this sort of thing all the time BT do have a section on their website about phishing - just advice about not clicking on anything and deleting the email - and I have reported it even though they don't really have a section to report any scams.

Gamebird Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 It has to be a scam and I wouldn't touch it with the proverbial barge pole. If it isn't a scam then I still wouldn't reply to it - they should not be asking you personal questions over the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
