The Audubon County Sheriff’s Office, Thursday, said they had received a report of an email scam. An individual reported they received an email that appeared to be from Mediacom Billing. The email said there was an issue with the payment method the customer used, and requested they click a link to update their personal banking information. The email address in the “From” line was: UF4@mediacombb.net.

The Audubon County Sheriff’s Office reached out to Mediacom, who verified that the email address their customer received did not come from the company. Any email coming from Mediacom, they said, would end with: @mediacomcc.com.

Authorities say you should be “Very observant when receiving emails or phone calls requesting you provide your personal information. If you feel it’s a scam call the company directly.” Mediacom says if you receive a questionable email, should forward that email to their abuse team at: abuse@mediacomcc.com.
