First instant give away for me is that, why ask for your email if they have already emailed you.Similar philishing scam went around in october of last year.
 
I think its policy for all competent companies NOT to ask for passwords via email or telephone.

I got one last week, pretty much word for word for Hotmail.

I was thinking the same thing. I find it hard to beleive that in this day and age people still fall for these.
 
Report to BT - there is probably a special e-mail addy to report phishing mails then delete and block sender.
 
Pm me your bank account number and sort code and I'll tell you if it's iffy or not lol
 
I've had a few these
Dodgerer than Marmite
Bin it and report it to BT
