I got an email yesterday purporting to be from plusnet. It said:

Hello [my full email address]
Unique identifier : [random number] |

We detected something unusual about a recent login attempt (too many failed login attempts) to your Plusnet account [my email address]
You don`t have to worry about this because we have blocked the attempt to access your account, however you will need to <redacted> in order to prove that you are the right account holder.
The link's only valid for 24 hours, so you'd better get a move on.

Thanks,

It looked exactly like the emails I get from plusnet. and without thinking much I clicked on the link and put in a few details. However when I got to a page wanting all my bank information, red flags went up. I looked a bit closer and saw that the email was sent from 231 -- Plusnet-Support.Customer.UK <Salehahmed1958@hotmail.co.uk>.. This makes me think very much it's a scam - I'm quite sure plusnet staff don't use hotmail addresses. I didn't input any further details, and hadn't pressed 'confirm' or anything so I think it's ok. Has anyone else had this email? thanks
