    if a PHISH then BT should get staff in and counter phish.

    careful about clicking on the link, but does it link to a bt website, or some ip addie or something else dodgy

    This domain is hosted by BT but the BTCOMMS collateral is within Telecity in London . Very ****ing odd :(

    http://www.robtex.com/dns/btcomms.com.html

    btcomms.com is a domain controlled by three nameservers at bt.net. All of them are on the same IP network. Incoming mail for btcomms.com is handled by one mailserver at btcomms.com themselves. btcomms.com has one IP record. www.btcomms.com and mail.btcomms.com point to the same IP. btvision.bt.com use this as a mailserver. bt.net, rfu.com, cbil.com, voca.com, bccbl.com and at least 100 other hosts share nameservers with this domain. btvision.bt.com share mailservers with this domain. www.btcomms.com, mail.btcomms.com, callapp.btcomms.com, uberelf.btcomms.com, conwayhelp.btcomms.com and at least two other hosts are subdomains to this hostname.

    Firefox is blocking that site as a Web Forgery so good to see it works.

    I'd say that BT have lost so many customers due to their throttling practice that they are just randomly e-mailing people in the hope that someone would send them some money.

    It has already been worked out that it is a phishing mail. Give BT a break.

    Being a Bt Customer i have recieved a few emails similar to this for billing but they all quote your name on the emails not dear customer as seen on the Image. My thoughts are you should email Bt and then delete.

    BT don't respond to emails in a timely manner so I mailed the hosting company instead ...on their behalf like :D

    Give over on the throttling blindpew, it really only affects a couple of hogs here and there.

    Their business DSL packages are ALL unlimited bar their new 1mbit package , fair play .

    I just received my latest "bill" from BT despite having cancelled my account a month ago.

    Knowing their incompetence, I knew this was coming. This should be interesting.
