Scam call?

I received a call from [Edited: "Possible malicious number"] saying they work with xfinity and were unable to port my phone number from my previous home phone company. They asked for my account and pin for my last provider.  Is this a scam? I am getting mixed information.  Thank you in advance for any help provided. They did not ask for banking info just my old providers information.

user_eb76qo - Thank you for your feedback and for joining us here on the Xfinity Forums, @user_eb76qo. We understand how frustrating scam calls can be, and protecting our customers from fraud and cyber threats is a top priority. One of the best ways to help secure your account is by enabling two-step verification. This added layer of security helps protect your account, even if someone gains access to your password. Unfortunately, scammers may use phone numbers that appear to be associated with Xfinity or try to convince customers to call fraudulent numbers in an effort to obtain account or payment information. If you're ever unsure whether you're speaking with an authorized Xfinity representative, we recommend ending the call and contacting us directly at 1-800-XFINITY (1-800-934-6489). Our team would also be happy to help verify any communication you've received and assist with any account or porting-related concerns you may have.
