Email received today stating;
RE: Plusnet Alert:Account Sign-In Alert no.07246-1870-844838
Plusnet Secure Access no.17805 <karen@[Removed].plus.com>
It suggested there was a sign in from an unrecognised device in France.
It had a link to what looks like an account login page (which I did not enter details into).
Does this seem real or a fake email?
Thanks in advance.

Update on this email security alert - I hovered over the link to 'review Plusnet Account' and could see the following as the link address:
<Deleted>
This goes to a page that looks very much like the Plusnet login page!
But I assume from the link address that this is a scam.

I've had loads of these over the last few days.
As you found, the link would take you to a very "not PlusNet" location, and interestingly the origin e-mail address is usually from another Plusnet account.

Yup, same here.
My identification process is simple: hit Forward, scroll down, ascertain sender.
The sender will be either an obvious scammer or a plus.com address.
In the latest case the address had sufficient detail for me to go to the business Facebook page (no website) where the spoofed sender's address was given. I emailed the spoof address and had a quick reply, person thanked me but was obviously annoyed with PN and lodged a complaint.
I was asked to do likewise but am not going to post the address here however if a staffer wishes to pm me I'll happily confirm.
