It seems there is no way of contacting Plusnet customer support to report Phishing or Scam type emails...
Doing a search on "google".. for What is the email address for Plusnet Customer support brings up the following...
Contact | Plusnet
So... please.. be kind to me... and forward this to someone who can deal with it. .... Thank you..
Most companies, that have a large customer base, have "Anti-phishing email address" that those customers can send emails to, in the hope that they will be investigated, to prevent other less informed customers from being hacked/scammed/phished, by these criminals.
. PlusNet does not seem to have such a department. ...
Which, by default, means that Plusnet Customer support is failing their customers.
However, If it does, then it is not easy to find it, and report the scam/hack/phishing emails that keep getting passed by the spam filters on the email network.
Here are three examples that I have received in the past few days
My email address has been corrupted by inserting XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX for safety.
However, you will notice it is "signed" Kind Regards, Customer Support.....
( YEAH, I know, it is not specifically addressed to my name... which is a clue .... that it is not genuine, so that is why I am trying to inform Customer Support, of the failure to provide customers their support in repressing this criminal activity...
By not doing so, PlusNet, as a company, is , by default, approving, and supporting the activities of the criminals, who send these emails. )

Surprised that that was a nil response to this. I have just received an obvious scam email about my Plus Net Account. As this must have passed through Plus Net servers it raises two questions:
Why was it not picked up before reaching me?
Why do Plus Net not have a "phishing" email address, like most commercial companies, to which I can forward it?
I wonder , if like the previous posting, no reply will be forthcoming, in which case I will escalate it to a complaint

Thanks for the help on this. Sent to "abuse@" and no reply but it has not been refused or bounced. Still wonder why the original got through the Plus Net servers and why the "abuse @ " is not shown anywhere on the web site.

report@phishing.gov.uk is probably more effective.
