doom bringer Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 not a new one but seems to be doing the rounds again I alone have had 5 today and others are saying they also have been getting the same . The message is a scam. BT Yahoo has rolled out a new system and their Classic Mail has indeed been closed. However, this message is not from BT Yahoo. The "Upgrade" link opens a bogus website designed to trick users into submitting their account login details. bt yahoo scam email by Simon Dell Photography, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillybear Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 A friend of mine got caught by something similar, (BT too), Fake e-mail saying the inbox was full and the account locked, got to bogus website to log on and unlock account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
