Spam email supposedly from Cox.

I just received an email from a pathetic attempt at Spam below:

If you notice this dope has spelling errors in it.

I've been around for too long to " Reply to: 

CoxHSIServicescox@tech-center.com

Or, my account will be "disable" .

I called Cox to report this weasel and they gave me a phone number for Cox Cable Abuse and Security, 1 (800) 753-6085.

Helloooo, Cox Cable, what gives?

I'm trying to help here.

    This does indeed look like a poorly formed attempt at a phishing email.  If you have the original message with the headers it can be sent as an attachment to phishingreport@cox.net where our security team will be able to investigate the origin.
