That definitely looks like a phishing attack.

I think you'll find that they just host the email; the email isn't actually from MediaCom.

I suggest you forward it to MediaCom's spam/abuse team. They should know how to deal with it.

This is typically part of a Nigerian scam. They get unsuspecting people to do all sorts of things. Most involve people sending merchandise/money orders to other victims, cashing the instrument, less pay and forwarding the balance to them. They use stolen checks, credit cards, or whatever. You get screwed when your bank reverses the transaction and pulls the money from that deposit out of your account.
