Someone access my account paid my bill . Had all my billing info and wanted $600 target card for a year of service upfront. Will my account charge me for make a fake payment with someone’s checking account ?

I've received calls before that say that my discount is about to expire and I usually delete them from my voice mail box on my cell phone.
As a rule of thumb, good , safe practices for your password are suggested. 2 Factor is a great one. You can find out more on how to secure your account here:
https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/two-step-verification-xfinity-app-setup
And also, Xfinity will NEVER send codes to you unsolicited except through official means:
*You are in your account yourself and the website may need more authentication in which they will send a code
*You are working with someone from Xfinity through official means, either on the phone or through the forums. Always make sure that you follow their leads to message you and never message scammers
*Xfinity Chat reps which may need to access your account - only provide them the code in the official chat.
Otherwise, ignore the unsolicited requests and perhaps report them to your cell phone providers SPAM short code.
