Scam about Xfinity

Received a call from [Edited: "Personal Information"] that Xfinity was offering a 50% discount.  The offer was to pay 
this month's bill if I would pay my statement six months in advance.  Told me to call [Edited: "Personal Information"] and give the billing.

department code XFI779.  Sent a text showing a confirmation number.  In addition, I would have to pay with a Target gift card.

I stated I didn't want this, and it sounded like a scam. The agent stated that it would. cost me $500.00 to cancel.  I hung up and

felt as dumb as a bucket of rocks.  I had taken the bait.  The phone numbers displayed as Xfinity. Hopefully my first and last scam.

I called Xfinity, to report the scam, and a pending payment was indeed showing on my account.  I

ask Xfinity to cancel that payment as I did not make it.  The customer service agent stated 

they could not reverse the payment.  What a mess.  There is no telling what is going to become

of this.  Learned a valuable lesson though, stupid will cause you to waste a ton of time.
