Dangerous email from COX.NET

A COX.NET user emailed me saying my account will be deleted if I don't click their link to update something.  I know this is a scam and is dangerous to click.  If I report the email address to you, will you delete their account?

    I forwarded the email I received to abuse@cox.net asking if they will delete the account.  We'll see.

  • if you can see full headers & it still says @cox.net, i was told to send to the "abuse@cox.net" address.  i had a whole slew of them a month or so ago & now they seem to have stopped.  my husband got one yesterday tho.  it was hysterical!

    what i don't get is why the spam filter can't recognize an illegitimate email from themselves?
