Service cancelation request error

I got an email saying Xfinity has received my cancelation request but I did not request to cancel service. I can't tell if this is a phishing scam but I do NOT want my Internet service canceled at this time. The customer service bot can't handle it.

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

Hello user_8biw2i! Thanks for reaching out to us on our Xfinity Forums! I'm sorry to hear that you received this alarming email. I know how crucial it is to keep our services active, so an email like this would be the perfect bait for a scammer or phishing attempt. You made the best move to reach out to us to check if it's valid. The first thing I do when I'm questioning an email is check the senders name and address. It should show from Xfinity and the email address would be online.communication@alerts.comcast.net for example. 

There are also times that these messages are sent in error due to someone trying to create an account online, and they enter the wrong service address. I mostly see this error when the wrong apartment or unit number is added. 

Could you send us a direct message please with your name and service address? I will help make sure your services are not interrupted. 

To send a direct message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, and select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a live chat. 
Click "Sign In" if necessary
Click the "direct messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3J0ir1l
Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
Press Enter to send it
@EG Thank you for moving the post to the right support area for our attentio.! You're the best!

By the way, the sender was "xfinity@account.xfinity.com" and it had a verified check mark but it still seems fishy.
