Xfinity Target gift card scam

Was called to lower my internet bill 2 days ago.

They offered a Target promotion via gift card. I paid $450 for 18 months. 

They had access to the app and they showed me $0.00 balance. 

Today, they contacted me that there was a problem with my payment and that I  needed to get an additional gift card.

Now I knew that I was scammed. 

I contacted Xfinity. They said they would reimburse me. 

How will this happen? What do I need to do?

If you have gotten a call claiming to be from Comcast asking you to buy gift cards or paying upfront for six months or more in exchange for 50% off your bill the FTC is well aware of this scam.  If you get a call like this you can report it to:     https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/
The FTC also has a great webpage on Scams.  Please check it out as well.
For Target Gift Cards:
Call 1 (800) 544-2943 and follow Target’s instructions.
Keep a copy of the Target gift card or your store receipt.
Please help to stop the spread of this kind of fraud.
Thanks!

It's deeply concerning trying to figure out how some people seem to get access to sensitive account information. Being able to apparently see details like specific monthly bill amounts, and especially having the capability to make payments towards those bills – how is that possible without legitimate access within the Xfinity network? It really raises questions about security and makes you wonder if it could involve individuals with internal privileges, maybe current or even outsourced employees.
