Further to my recent post "Fake Phishing scam pretending to be PayPal" I have also received one pretending to be from BT, which from the timing and similarity of style could easily be from the same scammers. F-Secure also apparently did not know about this one when I forwarded it to them - so it is new. They have now given the attachment a Trojan name. BT appear to only allow online reports from their customers of scam emails so I have not contacted them. The main text of the scam email is thus:
"Important: We need to confirm your BT account information.
