Looking at the URLs underlying all the links it is a scam. There are many of these going the rounds. BT would never send you a msg asking you to click on a link in order to update your a/c.

If you do click on any link don't enter any personal info, incl. your BT username & password, into it.

All five links are identical, a sure sign of a scam.
