Scam about 50% off special
Got a voicemail claiming to Xfinity and offering a special up to 50% my monthly bill. The phone number was [Edited: "Personal Information"]. I dialed it and it seemed somewhat legit (voice sounded like the same Xfinity voice I heard from calling in the past). It Once someone got on, they somewhat knew what I was paying and all I had to do to get the special rate of half of what I was paying, was to pay the first 6 months in advance ($325) and then I would not be billed for 6 months, then the remaining 18 months, I would receive the 50% off every month. It sounded a little shady so I called the Comcast/Xfinity number saved in my phone. They said there was no such sale. I called back and hit #2 for technical service and it went straight back to the original guy (sounded Indian). He asked if I was ready to save on the special. I told him I had to ask my wife and would get back to them. Watch out for this legit seeming scam.

I received this same call today. Realized there was something fishy when they wouldn't send me the offer via email. The longer we talked the sweeter the deal he offered. Think he thought I bought his story, but too many things didn't add up so here I am checking it out. Kinda sad we have to be so cynical these days.

Received same offer on Tuesday, Dec.13, 2022. Very pleasant American female voice left a voice mail with a call back number of [Edited: "Personal Information"]. As my contract just ended, and prices by Comcast are increasing, I called them back today. Customer service rep sounded Indian, and I could not understand hardly anything he said. Plus, the echo on the phone line was terrible. When he wanted $600 up front to cover the first five months with a guaranteed price of $120 per month for two years, I thought it was a scam. it was the $600 up front that gave it away. I asked how long the offer was for, and he said the weekend. ask for "Harry [Edited: "Personal Information"]". Wonder if Harry will call back? :)

I received a call from [Edited: "Personal Information"] and they left the below voicemail
“Hi there this call is to remind you that 50% discount off or on your Comcast Xfinity account expires today in order to avail the discount please call back at [Edited: "Personal Information"] from 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific standard time thank you and have a great day…”
I wonder how they got my phone number and knew I use Xfinity…. Hmmmm
