Question about an email [Edited]

Is this real? 

It’s time to update your Xfinity account

Dear [Edited: "Personal Information"],

We emailed you last month to let you know about changes we are making to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. These changes are key steps towards creating what's next for our consumers, like you, while empowering them with transparency and controls over how and when their data is used.

... you will need to Confirm you accept the Terms of Service ...

Such messages are almost always phishing/fraud. "Click here or lose your email" is a scammer classic. Comcast/Xfinity does not ask us to "update" our email accounts. This message is an attempt to steal your login and financial information.

If this arrived at a Comcast.net email address, check it with Comcast/Xfinity's Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/) and look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo. Note that anyone can insert an XFINITY Verified image in the body of an email, so it's important to note not only the presence of that image, but that it is in the correct locations:

  • proceeding the email subject line in the list of emails
  • above the subject line when the email is opened.

See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-verified-email for examples of valid logo placement. A logo in the body of the email does not count.

If the logo is missing when you view the message in webmail, the message is not from Comcast. Unfortunately, AFAIK the logo is not present in email sent to a non-Comcast.net address, or when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you view an email in their web email site.

Patman5961 Thanks for reaching out about an email you recieved. Most update requests will come through via the Xfinity app. We do send emails from time to time though. I would be happy to review the account for any recent emails we sent. Please send us a Direct Message. I look forward to helping you!

  • On the DM page click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon  

  • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person"but don't do that.It won't work.

      Instead, typeXfinity Supportthere. As you are typing a drop-down list appears.
