Was called 50% off of bill, had to buy a target card. ... SCAM

A very nasty scam that's been reported here in the Forums a lot recently. See any of the many posts at https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/search?page=1&sortKey=RECENT&q=scam.

A competent company would have posted prominent warnings about a widespread scam that has cheated many and appears to use leaked customer data, but Comcast hasn't bothered to do that. They really should.

@user_3a279c

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/#/

You can also report it to https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/alerts

Please help to stop the spread of this kind of fraud.

Thanks!
