Email phishing? From "plusnet" ...not really though?

I received this email this pm. I am guessing this is yet another phishing scam mail as there is nothing on my account when I logged in via the proper Plusnet site. 

Getting quite a few scams purporting to be from Plusnet and that look quite right until you look at the email it was sent from or the source code. They seem to elude the filters too.

 

Needless to say I haven't clicked on anything.

I got that today as well. Just wanted to check here before I report it to 

 

report@phishing.gov.uk

I'm just sick of scams.

I've had two of these. They are SPAM

 

I don't use WebMail and my email continues to work as normal.

@SLHick210 An obvious spam, but out of interest, what is original sender address (in the angled <> brackets) at the top of the email?

Thank you Brian. I watch scam interceptors every day on tv and as a person of an age likely to be targeted, I am very wary.

Thanks, @Katie222 . I suspected it may have been of that format. Still spam.

@plusnettony  / @Townman  - I smell a similar problem?

I've just had one as well. The link points at https://bootslemnas   .s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/plus.html

I've added some extra spaces so nothing should happen if you click on it..

I've forwarded to abuse@plus.net , although I'm not sure whether anything will happen there.

@Katie222 Thanks again - hopefully, the abuse team are on to this - it should be just a 'flash in the pan', but keep reporting them.

I had 4 now with different names. I keep reporting them & blocking the sender but they change their name.

Abuse team all over it. I think they've managed to block it (unless it's already been delivered).
