Sales Rep Trying to Scam me claiming modem rental is required to get Comcast internet deals.

Just like the title says, the sales rep was trying to scam me out of $26 a month, claiming that modem rental only from Comcast is required to get deals.   This amounts to over $300 a year in expenses I did not need to pay and thousands of dollars over the term of a 5-year contract.   I asked him to confirm this information 3 times and he just kept trying to scam me.

Person's info is below.  He said all calls are recorded.

I looked online, and it seems like this is an ongoing issue with multiple customers reporting the same deceptive tactic.  Can a manager please call me to resolve this?  I do not want a scammer responsible for my Comcast account.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

EK4091 Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us here on our Community Forum. Just to clear up any information that you may have been given. Our promotions that include a 5-year price lock do not require you to use our modem. We know that many customers prefer the flexibility or ability to use their own hardware, and any of the 5-year offers we have do not require the use of your modem. It is certainly an option, but again, not required.

In regard to what you described, we are happy to forward this feedback so that this experience does not happen again.
