BT account phishing email

Hello. Over the last couple of weeks I've received two emails purporting to be from BT. I'm quite used to receiving phishing emails, and how to spot them, so ignored and deleted the first one. The second one was better than most, referred to the previous email having had no response and was very well constructed (at first glance it appeared to come from BT, with grammatically correct English and decent graphics. However, it didn't mention my name and instructed me to 'link' my email address to my broadband account otherwise my email address would stop working on 14th April. Odd,I thought, as it must already be associated with my BT account. Lots of links to various unknown places, too. A quick visit directly to the BT website seemed to confirm my suspicions, and a phone call to them confirmed it.

Just in case anyone else has also got any of these notifications.
I have forwarded the email to: [email protected]
