Weird texts from xfinity

On the 3rd I received a login code text when I had not made a login attempt I freaked out but was assured everything was ok and nothing on my account had been changed. An hour later I got a welcome to xfinity text with my first name saying my order had been placed to an address I don’t live at. Contacted xfinity again and while they weren’t helpful as to why my number was receiving these texts they confirmed no order was made on my account. i got a ups shipped delivery text a few days ago and just now received a activate your modem text too all of these from the 266278 number also got a text from a 934489 number saying this

“Hi, Xfinity here! Please provide feedback on your most recent experience with Xfinity. Msg&DataRatesApply. STOP to end msgs.”

“Thinking about your Getting Started process, how likely are you to recommend Xfinity to friends & family? Reply from 0 Not at all Likely to 10 Extremely Likely.”

anyone else having this problem? Was told to ignore and not click anything but I just feel very unnerved about the whole thing lol

@user_d7e5c5 I would venture to say that someone didn't know their phone number, or transposed a couple of numbers, when setting up 2 factor authentication.

@Again so did I but it doesn’t explain how they went through the whole registration process and whatnot without fixing their phone number in the almost three weeks this has been going on lol

Also Xfinity customer service said no one can register with a number that already exist on a active file account but when I asked how this is still happening one guy disconnected from me and the new person had no clue and told me just to call their customer service number.

Concern not "Community Center" related. Concern moved here to the proper help section. And for greater exposure to actual Comcast employees for assistance.
