My BT e-mail account was hacked !
All put back in working order now, but no knowing what the hackers were up to !
Ignore any suspicious e-mails that are apparently from me asking for funds to be sent - it ain't me asking !

I'm not family, but I got one. I thought it was a scam so I just deleted it!

Do you have a list of their e-mail addresses ?

When I found I couldn't log in to my e-mail account, I contacted BT who discovered the 'hack' & stopped it.
Early responders would have been in contact with the hackers, but from then on my real e-mail was operative.
I don't think they had completed going through all of my contact list at that point, so some were spared the 'fake' e-mail !
Phoenix members would only have gotten involved if they were part of my contact list.
Yes, BT sorted it immediately.

Not sure why you have an account in Nigeria though.

That would have been funnier if you hadn't already done it !
My throat was never sore BTW...
