I recently got an email supposedly from BT part of which is below:-
Quote:
Urgent - BT is making some changes to its email service. Emails you send from alternate BT Yahoo! Mail addresses may be blocked
Dear Customer,
We're upgrading the security of your BT Yahoo! Mail account to help prevent identity fraud and spam.
These enhancements will help protect you from 'spoofing' - when people use alternate addresses to disguise an email's real sender, possibly to commit fraud.
Making the improvements work
For the security improvements to work, we need you to take a few minutes now to verify each of the alternate email addresses you use in BT Yahoo! Mail. This will confirm that these email addresses are genuine. If you don't verify your alternate BT Yahoo! Mail addresses, you may get an Error 553 message and have difficulty sending emails.
Please verify addresses now to avoid blocking of your outgoing emails.

It looks genuine but then a lot of scams do.
There was also a link in this email that I was supposed to go to once I'd opened my bt account.
I haven't found any reference to this being a scam yet,
BUT, BT already know the email addresses I use so following the rule never give out your email addresses because BT say they won't ask for account details over the web, I'm ignoring it and suggest that if you get a similar email you do not send your details or click on the link.
