Fake BT E-mail (Phising Scam)

Question

A heads-up regarding an e-mail doing the rounds entitled "Important information about your BT email service".
It has a 'genuine' look about it, except links within it are pointing towards the address in this image:
Part of the message is as follows:
"Hello,
As you've used your email address in the last 90 days, we need to let you know about some changes we're making.
We're closing some of our older email services. That means your BT email address will stop working after 27 September 2014, unless you add it to your BT Broadband account. If you don't do that, you'll lose your email address as well as the contacts and messages associated with it. Keep your email by adding it to your BT Broadband account
If you want to keep it, it's quick, easy and free. Just link your email address to your BT Broadband account by following the steps at <link>".
So be on your guard

Ever since moving to BT-Mail I am being bombarded with unsolicited sales and service emails.
I am sick and tired of moving 50% of my emails to the spam folder.
I have had Phising scam emails from banks and building soc etc.
I recieved one from BT relating to my account I reported this to the BT scam address of [email protected]
Only to recieve a email back from [email protected] forwarding the same email back to me.
Have BT Shared or sold my email address without my permission?  
First - thanks to mike20021969 for the warning.
Reporting scam emails to [email protected] sounds like the right thing to do, but in fact that team seems to be pretty useless for most purposes. If the email looks as though it is part of an attempt to trick you into giving out private information like your user log-in or bank details then BT defines it as "phishing" and asks you to send it to [email protected] (see: http://home.bt.com/news/btlife/be-aware-of-phishing-emails-11363931725372). I don't know whether that team is really any good, but their server does send a very encouraging auto-response.
It may also help to go into BT's (mostly still Yahoo's) web mail interface and mark the email as spam. That should give the spam filter algorithms a better chance of detecting similar malicious emails in the future - no guarantees.
FWIW I find the Yahoo spam filter blocks spam quite well, though it also blocks a fair bit of advertising that isn't really spam and the occasional bona fide email - including the last auto-response I got from [email protected]
