I seem to be getting quite a few phishing and scam emails and thought I would pass on a bit of advice.
Never click on links in emails from banks, HMRC, BT, Paypal, Ebay or any other seemingly official emails (I have had phishing emails from all of these). Most of these are from people trying to get your personal details.
Either go directly to the website or telephone the company to see if the email is genuine.
The latest one I got was from BT saying that they were going to combine my bills into one (and I do have two) and to click on the link to take me to their website. I telephoned BT instead and was told it was indeed a scam.
Be aware!
