Got two today.

One saying to update my credit card details

The second one saying to claim a Sainsbury gift voucher. This one triggered my anti virus software and flagged it as a "trojan"

BE WARNED !
A friend received an e.mail from BT today stating that she needed to update her on line account as they cannot send her bill. She rang BT and this IS a scam so this is to let anybody who has received this e.mail
