I have had a couple of emails, addressed to my email address with PlusNet, that "purport" to come from PlusNet,
See below
I searched on the net, for reporting phishing emails on PlusNet, and was directed to a page, that then said, that the page had been removed, as the information on it, was either out of date, or no longer relevant.. and no link to an updated page, indicating that PlusNet have not, as yet, updated the page, or have anything "relevant" to say about how to contact them regarding phishing emails.
I also searched for an email address to report these phishing and scam emails to PlusNet. using the following search criteria on Google... Plusnet Customer Service Email address
the first response is this....
___________________________________________________________________________________________
https://www.plus.net/home-broadband/contact/
Use Live Chat, email, phone or send a message to contact us. ... Our award-winning customer support is available 7 days a week. Contact customer services or ...
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Note the wording... email............. so I clicked the suggestion,... but after searching all the options the only email address I could find was one for the Media to contact Plusnet pressroom@plus.net
so much for... "our award winning customer service"........
Other companies with a large ( or any ) customer base, provide an easy to find "spoof@ xxxxxxx" email address (or similar) so that their customers can report the criminal activity to them....
PlusNet does not seem to provide the same level of Customer Service on this point, and by not doing so, they are, by default, approving of, and assisting the criminals to carry on sending the phishing emails.
If there is an email address to contact Customer Support, or just to send these messages to PlusNet for action, then it should be made more obvious under the "Contact Us" button on the top of all (?) pages of the website.
PlusNet keep banging on about "we`ll do you proud"... but this is a failure they should not be proud of........
Because I could not find it, and as a warning to others who may think this kind of email is genuine, I am posting those that I have received in the past few days. in the hope that PlusNet will be able to do something that other companies do with the "spoof" emails they receive from their customers.
Yeah, I know it is not addressed to me personally, but it is signed "Customer Support"
My email address has been corrupted by XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX for safety !.

I am sure I posted this ( or very similar) on Feedback about Midnight last night ( 13th July) but could not find it this morning when I logged on... so I have had to redo it...
Perhaps someone from Plusnet can let me , and others, know where we can send phishing emails , as above, purporting to come from Plusnet Customer Service, so that they may be dealt with .
