Someone try to steal my bank account number...

This morning, I received a strange mail from the Euromillones lottery primitiva s.a. This is surprising because I never buy a ticket... Moreover this mail come from Spain... But what is very annoying is that the name on the letter, has the same error as the name I gave to BT! In fact, when I opened my BT line, they miswrite my name and this is exactly the same error which appears on the letter I received: this is probably not a coincidence! BT leaks information about its customers, which could give the possibility to someone to send me a letter or even try to steal my identity! In fact in the letter it is written (I will copy this letter, so you will be able to compare if you received the same) that I won 615 810 euros... but I must give them my bank account number so they will be able to transfer the money to my account: THIS IS PHISHING. Sorry man I am not dumb. I will probably try to contact BT and explain them the situation... For the moment I will copy the letter here, so you can compare, if you receive the same letter:
