New scam which looks genuine

 

Just received this and I thought 'On a Sunday?'

My Norton chucked it out

"""Dear Customer,

  This e-mail has been sent to you by BT Internet to inform you that we were
unable to process your most recent payment of bill. This might be due to
either of the following reasons:

  1. A recent change in your personal information. (eg: billing address,
phone)
  2. Submitting incorrect information during bill payment process.

  Due to this, to ensure that your service is not interrupted, we request
you to confirm and update your billing information today by clicking here.

  If you have already confirmed your billing information then please
disregard this message as we are processing the changes you have made.

  Regards,

  Hope your safeguards are up to date :-))

New? This scam turns up at least once a week and has done for years.
Another Nigerian special!

 


Sorry. Not seen it before and it looked genuine and from BT.

Keep them to myself next time. Suppose it would have been different if I was
one of the clique

Thanks

I'm inclined to agree that it's not new, but don't let that put you off.
It's not always easy spotting all the scams out there.   I reckon the best
bet if you suspect something is get on the phone to the supplier concerned
using a number you have sourced from somewhere other than the e-mail and
its' associated sites (but then I NEVER click links in suspect mails).

 


It doesn't put me off. What DOES amaze me is the terrible clique on this
newsgroup. If you don't belong to the kissy kissy brigade and use it to
contact others quite openly as if you are the only ones here, (where email
would be much better), then you are an outcast!
