Phishing?

How come Mediacom keeps letting so much phishing e-mail through? Everyday I get e-mails supposedly from Mediacom stating they are going to close my e-mail accounts if I don't e-mail back my social security # and date of birth, etc. The last ones even have a Mediacom customer support address from mchsi.com.

It's not that Mediacom is letting the e-mails through, most of those phishing e-mails come from @mchsi.com accounts, usually hacked ones. Just don't respond to them, and let us know when you get one. Although they are usually reported quickly.

It's not mediacom's responsibility to check your e-mails for validity, but they do block some known phishing IP Blocks
