Discount

I received a call stating I'm entitled to a 50% discount for having Comcast.  I think it's a trick or fraudulent tactic to get information.

Did you call?  Do you have a 50% off for customers?

In addition to what @XfinityJessie posted:

Have you gotten a call claiming to be from Comcast asking you to buy gift cards or paying upfront for six months or more in exchange for 50% off your bill?  If so, the FTC is well aware of this scam.  If you get a call like this you can report it to     https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/
Please help to stop the spread of this kind of fraud.
Thanks!
