SPam/Scam Emails
I have a question for you. Why do I receive approximately 10-15 spam emails from Cox? They appear legit until you look in the header and see it is from susieq@cox.net. The forms look. Usually, it ask...

You're correct to recognize those are not legitimate emails. Email from Cox will have a domain name ending with ".com". The "cox.net" domain is used for Cox customers.
Those are phishing emails. If they're going to the "Spam" folder, an online security company identified them as spam and flagged them before they reached Webmail. Since they're an obvious attempt to commit fraud, an attempt to "unsubscribe" from that sender wouldn't be successful.
The webpage at the link NicholeC provided advises sending email to a "cox.net" account.
Is the "cox.net" domain name in the email address displayed on that webpage accurate? It seems odd that Cox would use an email address with a customer domain for corporate use.
yes, forward spam as an attachment to SPAMREPORT@COX.NET or Phishing emails as an attachment to PHISHINGREPORT@COX.NET.
Those addresses have been the same for MANY years.
I haven't received Webmail spam for MANY months (maybe years), so I haven't forwarded any emails. It's still odd that Cox uses the cox.net domain, used for customer email, for a corporate purpose. It's a deviation from their own standard usage.
