Scam Alert! Phishing email about new terms of service

Hi everyone,

Another phishing email is currently circulating.  The email looks like it is coming from BT and the email goes on to claim that the UK will soon be leaving the EU and as such BT will be creating new terms of service.  It claims that you will no longer be covered by General data protection regulations(GDPR) and requests that you update your info by clicking on 'Update', failure to do so will result in a reduction in your broadband speed.

This is a scam so please be on the lookout.  If you receive this email please do the following,

 

  • Forward the email to phishing@bt.com then delete it
  • If a suspicious link was clicked or attachment opened/downloaded then run a virus check on your computer
  • If bank details were given out then contact your bank immediately and change your online banking passwords

 

Here is an example of this particular phishing email,
