Scam email to my Comcast email addresses
I use unique email addresses in many places including Xfinity. In other words, I give Xfinity email addresses that nobody else has or even knows about. It is not a coincidence I have received multiple scam (not spam) emails this week to two different email addresses that only Xfinity knows about. One was to my current email address and the other was to an old email address used years ago for my father. One email was telling me I have renewed Norton Life lock which I have never used and the other seemed like it was coming from Amazon telling me a $1,400 iPhone I ordered was on its way. Of course, both want me to call a phone number if there was any mistakes or problems so they can trick me into giving them my credit card number.
I see two possibilities. One is that Xfinity is releasing our email addresses to scammers which I doubt and the other is Xfinity has been hacked recently or this is from an older breach.
Either way it is not cool and I hope everybody gets warned. There are not many people like me who realizes where a particular scam email obtained my email address.
P.S. there was no real place to report something like this. No way I'm going to call and speak to an [Edited: "Inflammatory"] It doesn't know what I'm talking about and it won't matter anyway.
