It looks like the number +18774706009 is being used by scammers to impersonate Cox Communications. Users are receiving texts and emails about non-existent orders or appointments being on hold, urging them to call the number for assistance. While some messages may appear legitimate, with familiar Cox branding and even coming from numbers or emails Cox has used before, these are likely cases of spoofing. If you receive such a message, don't call the number directly. Instead, verify the issue by contacting Cox through a known, trusted method, like their official customer service line or website. Stay vigilant and double-check any unexpected communications to avoid falling for a phishing scam.
