Well today’s scammer/phishing email is supposedly from BT :

The email purports to be from BT Customer Services informing you that BT are in the process of upgrading their BT Yahoo Mail and that it will stop working shortly, this is usually happening within a matter of days, thus increasing the urgency for you to upgrade.

To do the upgrade your asked to click on the embedded link “Upgrade BT Yahoo Mail”, this then takes you to a fake Yahoo log in page, where it will ask you to login with your BT Email Username and Password.

First thing that gives the scam away is the address in the Web bar, it’s not a yahoo address, in this case it was http://www.chemaweyaat.com/plugins/editors/jnr/mail.html

This was a compromised website that someone has uploaded their fake Yahoo page to, so that when you land on it, you fill in your details and these are then stored or forwarded  on to the scammer, for what ever nefarious plans they may have.

If you do get fooled by this scam/phishing email, first thing you need to do it go to the proper BT yahoo Login page and immediately change your password and don’t forget to amend these details in your Email client on your PC (otherwise you won’t receive emails on it any more).

Hope this has been helpful to you and remember never enter your Username and Password into a website before checking that its legitimate.
