Spam phising guy posing as Cox support
Just got email from what appeared as "Cox.net" - and then added the recipients true name (which was a @cox.net address)
Johnmmcdaniels
John wanted to let us Cox users know our accounts would no longer be allowed to receive incoming mail, as our accounts were due for an upgrade.
Please upgrade below to avoid termination.
Of course, an "Update" link was provided, which revealed a bogus http address.
Be careful, Cox email readers - you wouldn't want to lose your bank account over this guy.
PS - Cox, what can you do to prevent these types of scams?
