Fraud and scammers

Soooo, today I get a spam call from someone saying they are from Xfinity. I call the "middle eastern" guy out and we exchanged some "words". Dude then tells me to expect a text.....I block the number immediately. Bammmmm....a text comes through thanking me for my $149.99 payment. Sure enough, I am now sitting on a $154.99 credit ( I already had a $5 credit from a day service was glitchy). Spent almost 5 hours on the phone with Xfinity trying to get the fraudulent payment canceled. Nope. Xfinity can't do that. Clearly the scammer dude had access to Xfinity software systems and Xfinity just doesn't care enough to 1. Notify customers 2. Right the wrong.

Point of the story, DONT ever cuss out the scammer and don't ever put your bank account as a source of payment. Sigh*

@XfinityVianney​ Your instruction were confusing to say the least. I attempted to message you, no clue if it worked.

Update: Xfinity refused to cancel the fraudulent payment. I was told someone from "The Advanced Team" would contact me within 24 hours. It has been 32 hours, no one called, no one will resolve this so it seems a class action lawsuit is in order. Clearly Xfinity had a data breach and cares so little about their customers they refuse to fix an obvious case of fraud.
