Phone Scam

I just received a phone call about giving me a new promotion from Comcast. I knew it was a scam as the number [Edited: "Personal Information"] is a non working number. I tried calling it on my other phone. Plus Xfinity sends a verification code before accessing my account. 

What baffles me is that they had my account details of my previous address. 

How does a scammer have access to Xfinity customer information?

This is concerning!!!

The phone number [Edited: "Personal Information"] called me offering 50% on my eligible account.  Is this number a fake?  As expensive as xfinity is it immediately raised some major red flags.  There’s no way this could be real.  Is this number a scam?
