That is a fantastic question! I know I get a lot of spam and phishing emails on a daily basis from all over and I try not to click anything without ensuring it is legitimate. You can always report any spam or phishing emails to us by clicking this link: https://comca.st/32HmBbl.

Are you able to see the email address that the email was sent from? That would be helpful in determining if this is a legitimate Comcast email.

What Does the XFINITY Logo Next to an Email Message Mean?

... The easiest way to tell is to look for the verified logo ...

Perhaps worth noting that the XFINITY Verified Email logo only appears if you check your email with Comcast's Xfinity Connect webmail ( https://connect.xfinity.com/ ). Note that anyone can insert an XFINITY Verified image in the body of an email, so it's important to note not only the presence of that logo, but that it is in the correct locations:

  • proceeding the email subject line in the list of emails
  • above the subject line when the email is opened.

See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-verified-email for examples of valid logo placement. A logo in the body of the email does not count.

If the logo is missing when you view the message in webmail, the message is not from Comcast. Unfortunately, AFAIK the logo is not present when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you use their web email site.
