Non-response to important emails

On several occasions I have received what may have been phishing emails, claiming to be from ABSA bank - most attached Absa Reward Statement or Absa Surecheck profile - these have been forwarded to ********** which is the email address on the ABSA website for forwarding these. In the past month I have sent 4 such emails to this address requesting confirmation if these are genuine of phishing - not one has had a response. This is very poor indeed, as the nature of potential phishing emails is serious and unsettling. Shame on you Absa, this is not what I expect of my bank.

Reviewer Update
Since posting comment regarding possible ABSA phishing emails on 14 November, I have received further suspicious emails supposedly from ABSA - I have forwared these to ********** as instructed and enquiring if these are indeed genuine emails from ABSA or phishing ****s. To date there has been no response. The reply above from Vanessa Crowe, Customer Care, therefore rings hollow. Despite her assurance of investigation and feedback there has been no communication whatsoever. I am generally very happy with banking at ABSA but this lack of communication on a potentially risky issue is appalling and leaves this customer feeling very uneasy indeed.
