Email phishing increase

I had the migration email which was to start 31/10. Since that date I have had a significant increase in the amount of phishing emails, which I am thinking is due to the new provider Greenbee possibly not providing the same filtering.
Has anyone else noticed the same ?

Re: Email phishing increase

If the details on your profile are right, you're not in the process of being moved. 

SPAM has been mentioned elsewhere on the forums generally, and I've reported a few examples which should help.

This may already have been dealt with, but if you forward to abuse@plus.net, we can take a look at the headers and look to block the IP / address if appropriate.

Re: Email phishing increase

Just noticed this response.

Thank you, will forward.

It's about 6 emails a day all to the same Plusnet email address. Currently I've adjusted Thunderbird to automatically send them to the delete folder.

2025 12 16

I've had multiple daily spam / phishing emails since about the start of November 2025.

I've been forwarding thyem to report@phishing.gov.uk

 

Yesterday (or was it the day before) I received what seemed to be all the December dated incoming emails again.

I deleted them.
