Is this email kosher? Genuine

[MiracleMaud]

I am very nervous of clicking links in emails, but may be affected by the issue reported in the email (old accounts).  I need to continue to access my account.  Sent by:  B̰T M̰ail T̰eam <**********@btinternet.com>, to "[email protected]"

I don't recall an email a month ago, but I've been a bit under the weather.  

Help!  (Having a bit of a flap here!!)


The email:

Of course it's a scam, don't click on the link and please delete it from the forum to prevent anyone else clicking it.

Thank you SO much for replying.

Are you a representative of BT?  I'm sorry, but I'm having quite the panic here.

No, I'm just a customer, but it's obviously a scam. Broadband isn't spelt correctly and it comes from a private address. Please delete the whole of the text and link from your post.

Thank you.  You are correct.

I'll remove the clickable link, but leave the rest.  It may help someone else.  I somehow doubt I have been singled out for this.

Thanks again.  Being a bit under the weather I'm not at my sharpest.
