Firewall Call

I just received a call,  the caller ID came up as Xfinity Store By Comcast. He asked if my Modem was flashing or solid,  when I said solid he said something is blocking my Firewall. He asked if I knew how to login to my Modem I said no, he asked if now was a good time for him to walk me through it, I said no,  he rushed and said call back when ready and hung up.  Indian accent, call center background.

I too just received this call telling me my Xfinity firewall has been comprised and I hung up. Called back and it was Xfinity.  What does this call mean & should I be concerned?

@user_479eaa The best course of action, in this case, would actually be to report this to our Customer Security Assurance. You can contact them calling CSA directly at Toll-Free Number: 1-888-565-4329.
