Charter Communication

Is this transparent or what?
How about another scam email? This one wants me to give away my email account password. Of course, the most obvious giveaway was that it didn't even have a Charter return address. The shoddy grammar and total lack of the usual Charter branding in the formatting of the email don't help.

The impeccable spelling and grammar seriously had me thinking this was genuine for half a second or so. Then I alerted my provider since this had somehow got though their own filter system.
I got that email last week. It looked totally legitimate to me. I gave them my SS# too, just in case they needed it.
I'm also still waiting on my big bank deposit from the newly freed Nigerian prince.
