SPAM claiming they know my password
I received an email this morning that I just found that was in my inbox that said they knew my password, etc.
The password they put was extremely close to an old password I had. Is this legit or...

I got this same email yesterday. Cox sent it to my spam box. They claim they have my password but it is not my password. Also, it has my email address shown as the sender so I'm wondering if it can even be traced to the real sender. Can this be reported to any agency?
yes. you can report to spam@uce.gov as an attachment or at least with full headers. it's national. and the pros can still tell where it originated, but i'm guessing out of the country so they can't do anything but maybe add it to a filter. lots of time the email address is "spoofed." and lots of my phishing scam mails indicate from a cox.net address in the full header, but i don't know if that's spoofed or not, so i send to both spamreport@cox.net AND abuse@cox.net, as well as the national.
