If you have 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 the FTC is well aware of this scam.  If you get a call like this you can report it to:     https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/
The FTC also has a great webpage on Scams.  Please check it out as well.
For Target Gift Cards:
Call 1 (800) 544-2943 and follow Target’s instructions. 
Keep a copy of the Target gift card or your store receipt.
Please help to stop the spread of this kind of fraud.
Thanks!

I just received the same potential spam voice mail as above.  Exactly to the word.   This must be a scam.

Just received this call today. I thought it was suspicious when it said "you must call back on the number showing on your caller ID immediately"  I hope xfinity does (or have done) a public announcement about this.

@user_hgwmjr The best course of action, in this case, would actually be to report this to our Customer Security Assurance. You can contact them by following this link: https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse/.

I just received a call from [Edited: "Malicious Phone Number"]- the person's english wasn't very good, but they introduced themselves saying the phonecall would be monitored and they were calling to offer promotions.   Then they first question they asked is if we had a security system.   I told them to send me an email and hung up.   Very strange
