Customers should be watchful for emails from Xfinity claiming bill payment suspension. My wife and I both received the same email but even though the email address said Xfinity, the actual response email address was foreign.

I got the same email and search and found your post. I think it’s spam. My payment isn’t due until tomorrow and my account info is correct and enough money in account.

I too received this same “spam” email today - I contacted xfinity to verify my account status (which I already knew was current), but, I wanted to check to see if there was a billing/payment error at xfinity or if it was a spam email. The findings were the email I received was spam. I have forwarded the email it to abuse@Comcast.net.

@user_pef6jr Hi there! Thank you for sharing with the community the importance of being aware of the sender in emails. I received one today from USPS. It looked suspicious, so I did not click the link, just in case. Instead, I went to the usps website and entered the tracking number from the email. Turns out it was a legit email and my shipment will be arriving today, but that's not always the case. For Xfinity if you receive an email, and it seems off in any way, please do not click on any links. Instead, log into your Xfinity account through our webpage at Xfinity.com or through our Xfinity mobile app. That way you know you are in a safe webpage / valid app and if a change it needed you can correct it at that time.
If you find the email is invalid and possible phishing you can copy the full message headers and report it to our Security Assurance team. The steps to copy the headers and email address are here: https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse

I received identical email today and customer service reps at Xfinity are clueless about it.

I received an email this morning, but my payments are not due until next week and both accounts are up to date on their payment methods. If I hadn't noticed the email address, [Edited: "Personal Information], I would have thought it to be legitimate. If this is a phishing email, it's a very good one.

I also just got the same email. Checked the email address it came from and it WAS NOT Xfinity clearly a scam going around. Xfinity needs to send a true email to customers warning them so they are aware.

Given the multitude of responses - it looks like Xfinity may have experienced some sort of security breach of its customer data. The email I received identical to the others who have commented was from: support@dreamhost.com

I also received this email. It came from [Edited: "Personal Information"], not a real entity and definitely not connected to xfinity. When you hover over the "Update Payment" button you can clearly see it redirects through a proxy link through qrco.de, I've never known xfinity to use redirect services.
Edit: I used a link unmasker and the button redirects you to a gofundme page. Be safe out there people, scams are everywhere.

I am so glad I searched this on Google and thankfully you were smart enough to post about this.
I have received three emails exactly like this in the span of a month but I never clicked on the link within the emails and instead logged into my account to make sure everything was okay.
I was so concerned about continuing to receive the same emails that I robot chatted to make sure everything was ok.
This was the most legit phishing attempt I've seen yet in an email.

I JUST got one and searched the contents to see if others had report this. I haven’t been a member since like 2016 so I know my “payment” is definitely not an issue.

I also received the Bill Suspension scam email today 6/17/24 stating "We regret to inform you that your account has been temporarily suspended due to billing issues. After reviewing our records, we identified several errors in the charges on your bill." Obvious link to Update payment. I did not fall for it but some could as it is very realistic. Reply email is [Edited: "Personal Information"]

Possible scam but wanting to verify that. I received this email a few minutes ago:
We understand that billing issues can sometimes arise unintentionally, and we are here to assist you in resolving them promptly.
Please update your payment Information: Ensure that the payment information associated with your account is up to date, including valid credit card details or alternative payment methods.
