How to get phishing or spoofing reports forwarded to the appropriate authority?

I sometimes get spoofed emails purporting to be from Amazon which try to scare me into clicking on a bogus link by claiming my account has been frozen or my payment on file has expired or some such BS. I am unable to forward these emails, either as an attachment or in the original format) to "stop-spoofing at amazon.com" although I am able to forward them to "spamreport@cox.net" (as an attachment).

How can I get Cox to forward these emails to "stop-spoofing at amazon.com" since they (Amazon) are the only ones who have the motivation to protect their customers.

    Why can't you attach or forward the spoofed email to Amazon?  Do you receive an SMTP error?
