She said: “ It looks genuine and has the BT logo and said it was an automated message regarding security.

“It says your BT account info needs validation and the account has been suspended until the information is provided, with a link on the bottom.

Bank log-ins are the primary target, but any account can be compromised and used to steal your money. Though there's no information as to how this information would be used, I mention below another scam where taking over phone accounts enabled one set of crooks to earn millions.

THREE members of a South Yorkshire gang who defrauded mobile phone giant Vodafone out of £2.8m by hijacking the accounts of genuine customers have been convicted.

The fraudsters were able to assign the phone numbers of the company’s customers to a SIM card in their possession by calling up and posing as the account holder.

They then used the SIM cards to repeatedly call premium rate lines they had purchased, which typically had connection charges of around £2.50 per call.

Any fraud with the potential to generate that amount of money will attract 'copy cats' and there'll be ways to exploits most accounts you hold, of any sort.
