Comcast Xfinity Scam call center

BEWARE - callers sound like they’re in a call center attempting to lure you into purchasing a gift card through an Xfinity “promotion” thru Target.

Here was their voicemail left from [Edited: "Personal Information"]

“Hi there this call is to remind you that 50% discount offer on your Comcast Xfinity account expires today in order to avail the discount please call back at [Edited: "Personal Information"] from 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific standard time thank you and have a great day…”

additional phone numbers scammers spoke on were [Edited: "Personal Information"] and [Edited: "Personal Information"]

@la-daveed 

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!

I just received the same call--exact same verbiage in the voicemail as quoted in the original post, here.

The call was from a TN phone number, but the voicemail requested callback at an 855 number. 

Did report to the FTC.
