Genuine Email or a phishing email

Dear All - I’ve received an email from BT advising I need to accept their new privacy conditions by September 31st 2021 or I’d lose access to my emails. Obviously, there are only 30 days in September which has raised my suspicions. Could someone advise if they have had the same email.

Scam email, delete it and do not click on any links.

Thank you, I did click on it but didn’t do anything else confirming or putting in a password. Would I be compromised?

Probably not, but its worth doing a virus scan. If you have Windows 10, then that may have detected it anyway.
