Thanks Dear Customer, We are forwarding a notice received by Cox Communications which claims that someone using your Cox High Speed Internet service has violated U.S. Copyright law by copying or distributing the copyrighted work listed in the attached complaint. THIS COMPLAINT IS FROM A THIRD PARTY AND NOT FROM COX COMMUNICATIONS. We have included a copy of the complaint, which identifies the party making the claim, the title or work they claim was infringed, and the date of the alleged infringement. We ask that you review the complaint and, if you believe it is valid, promptly take steps to remove or disable access to the infringing material (typically movies, music, books, or TV shows). If other parties are using your account, such as through your WiFi connection, you should ask them to disable file-sharing in peer to peer applications such as BitTorrent, or delete the copyrighted works. If you disagree with the claims and believe that no one using your Internet service could have been the source of the alleged infringement, please do not contact Cox Communications to resolve this matter. Cox is simply forwarding the notice to you. However, if you have WiFi, please make sure your WiFi connection is secured with a strong password to prevent unauthorized use of your Internet service. In addition, make sure anti-virus software is installed and up to date to help prevent malware infections.

The email was from you and one from IP Echeoln and I wanted to make sure it is a legit email from you because I have never downloaded a movie from any web sites. My husband and I live here alone and do not have children in the house. My question is should I be worried and pay the 150.00 they are asking for? It was done at 11:54 p.m. so I'm sure it was a hack even though my wifi is secure with a password. I know your email, if real, said not to contact you but I am not sure what to do. I don't want to give into a scam or if real pay for something I didn't do. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
