I also received this email today. i have just spent 30 minutes on the Plusnet website trying to find out how to report it to Plusnet. Can you provide a link to how to report it, please, if just for the future.

I have just deleted the messsage.

As more 'junk' messages accumulate in the Junk folder, Thunderbird will start to recognise the 'pattern' that distinguishes those messages from those you haven't tagged, and will start to automatically filter new junk messages and move them to your Junk folder for review.
Regarding reporting SPAM emails to Plusnet, this page How to stay safe online says -
