Know your service provider!

Rarely if ever has a legitimate ISP been responsible for unsolicited messages. The date, timestamp, and IP id would show in the log files and point directly back to the Operator at the time.

In many cases, depending on the ISP, they may well know your email address but can not and do not have access to your password. They can usually change it for you but many have systems that simply don't allow anyone to read it including support staff.

Could it happen, yes, is it likely -- not really, much more likely for you to get a trojan, virus, or BOT. With all the Blacklists that exist today NO ISP wants an IP listed and most take extreme messures to keep that from happening.
