Question about e-mail
Hi.
I’d like to know if [Edited: "Personal Information"]nity.com is a legitimate e-mail address, as I received a message from that address, and doubt its authenticity.

Even if the address is a valid one it doesn't prove anything, because it's very easy for scammers to fake the "From:" email address. If you check your email with Comcast's Xfinity Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/) look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo next to any message that claims to be from Comcast/Xfinity. 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:
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 when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you use their web email site.
Samples of recent scammer phishing messages can be found at https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/alerts/ under "Top Phishing Scams".
