latest phishing attempt

stuck — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:23:59 GMT

Just had a fairly convincing phishing attempt. It both looked like something from Plusnet and appeared to come from Plusnet support. It was trivial to spot as a phishing attempt because the sender behind 'Plusnet Support' had a .es address.

I've reported it to both abuse@plus.net and report@phishing gov.uk.

I've had the same thing, 19:00 yesterday.

Makes a change from the usual offers@<whatever> spam supposedly from a load of well known companies offering me a "last chance" to get a freebie.
