I've been receiving the following email -- the address sources says Comcast.net. The reply is to info@inc.com.

Such messages are almost always phishing/fraud. "Click here or lose your email" is a scammer classic. Comcast/Xfinity does not ask us to "update" our email accounts.

If this arrived at a Comcast.net email address, check it with Comcast/Xfinity's Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/) and look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo. 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 image, 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 in email sent to a non-Comcast.net address, or when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you view an email in their web email site.
