Email from Xfinity regarding free Xumo TV

Hello,

I received a legitimate-looking email from Xfinity titled "Update on your incentive item from Xfinity" with the following:

"You've completed all the necessary requirements to qualify for your Xumo TV 43". We'll get your item shipped to you right away."

The message includes a real FedEx tracking number via a emails.xfinity.com link. I have not been able to verify this shipment through the Xfinity site or via the text message support. I did recently update my TV and internet plan. I didn't get any Xumo services when I updated my plan.

What is this promotion? Is this real? Is this TV really free?

user_u8g5az Thank you so much for stopping into our Community forums for help with this offer. This is not a promotion I am familiar with nor am I able to locate. The email you provided also does not match the address that would send out Sweepstakes alerts if using our Xfinity rewards offers. I would recommend reporting this email to our Phishing team and possibly updating and changing any information you used while trying to redeem the offer.

I also received the same email 2 days ago and the tv arrived today. I tried to call to number on the email but it would ring once then switch to a busy signal which made me think it was also a scam. Then the tv came today via FedEx so I called xfinity and spoke to someone from the billing department to ask why I received it. He couldn't find anything on my account and said there was nothing on my bill. He also said that Xfinity doesn't have tv's. So I don't know where it came from or what is going on.

I got the same e-mail this afternoon. Earlier today, I got an e-mail from Fedex notifying me that a 23 lbs. package had been shipped from Comcast. So at least I know what's coming now. But I don't know why?

I called Xfinity -- this is real. They sent out 100 of them through something called the Incentive Program. The forum staff seemingly don't know about it, but the phone staff were able to find it after a bit.

@XfinityMarcos​ you are telling people incorrect information. Per phone staff, this is the Incentive Program. We refused ours by accident because of recommendations on this forum, and I'm trying to contact them to get it resent.

Thank you for following up on this, @user_u8g5az. I couldn't find any internal communications regarding a Xumo TV incentive program, but if you were sent one, there should be a record of it in your account. If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

Could it be from the Xfinity Rewards Program? Looks like they are giving away Xumo TVs.
