Varification of account message

[#1]

Today Sat 21 st June  I recieved an email which seems very authentic from plusnet asking me to varify my account because there has been a number of failed attempts too log into my account?? and giving me 7 days to do so before my account is temporaly locked. When I click onto the proceed to varification button I was taken to Ebay next attempt I was taken too Linkedin.

   Is this a silly scam ?

Yes

I have had that too. I'm treating it as a scam because it's impossible to ask Plusnet themselves about it. Now if we had an email address for them we could forward it to them. And no, I do not have an X account.

It can be reported by forwarding to the National Cyber Security Centre

report@phishing.gov.uk

and to Plusnet

abuse@plus.net

@terrydorset  There is a Plusnet email address you can use .. abuse@plus.net

Have look at msg#15 in this thread .... https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Account-Billing/Verify-your-account-scam-or-real/m-p/2011523#M73559
