Just received a scam email allegedly from 'BT' in the form of ' Your Latest BT bill is Online For You To View!"
Telltale signs of this scam email :
+ starts off "Hello BT Broadband Customers"
+ the account number (top right) is wrong. Put your mouse cursor over the account number quoted and hold it there (
BUT DON'T CLICK ON IT). You will see an unfamiliar web address that appears bottom left of your screen - mine started "gatsbyfashion......"
+ quotes "Your Latest Bill is Ready" (I'm not due one - so check your own)
+ a proper BT ebilling email does NOT have anything after "ebilling@bt.com". This one had "a****jc1*4@btinternet.com" after it (I've starred out the full quoted email address)"
+ If you put your mouse cursor over the pink "Log In To See Your Bill" and hold it there (
BUT DON'T CLICK ON IT) you will see an unfamiliar web address that appears bottom left of your screen - mine started "tiny.cc/......"
+ at the bottom of the email it says "
To make sure our emails get to your inbox, add no-reply@bt.com to your address book." whereas:
legitimate BT emails will say
"Make sure BT emails don't get treated as spam by adding ebilling@bt.com to your address book.
Don't click on any links
