BT has lots of advice about how to spot phishing emails, texts and phone calls
and what to do, on their official website. They also suggest sending them
suspect emails to phishing@xxxxxx. They are also prompt at replying.
Other companies do this too.
Good luck, Marguerite

Friends,
Just received an email claiming to be from a friend and inviting me to
view a document from their account in Microsoft’s One Drive.
BEWARE: THIS IS A SCAM
If you click on the link, you will be taken to a bogus website which
will collect your One Drive login id and password - called 'phisihing'.
It looks very legitimate until you check the link and discover that it
is not https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-gb. Here is some info on this ;
phishing scam:

Not sure if a link to a site you have to login into is legitimate? DO
NOT use the link in the email, but rather login using your normal
method. Do online banking? NEVER login from a link, even if if it looks
like an email from your bank.
Be safe online,
Gordon
