The fake British Telecommunications (BT) email messages below were sent by cyber-criminals to trick BT customers into clicking on the link within them, which will take them to a fake BT website, where they will be asked to sign into their accounts. The fake website will then send their account credentials or login information to the cyber-criminals behind the fake website and email messages, if they attempt to sign in.
With their victims' credentials, the cyber-criminals will gain access to their victims' accounts, steal money from them and use them in other fraudulent ways.
