That really doesn't give us a lot of information to go by, so it's really hard to tell what it is about.  Does the email show the Xfinity verified logo [this is only in webmail, btw]?  Does the email ask you to "click here" to do something with your account?  If so, did you hover your mouse over the link to see if it was a comcast link?

I tried to cut and paste the email, but this editor complained about html content.  I tried to insert a pdf of the email, but this editor complained that it does not accept pdf.  So it's hard to explain the content.

 

But the email does have a "Secure my Account" link button and hovering over it has no effect on giving further infol

It looks like you are using a desktop client.  Did you check in the webmail UI for the Verified logo like @Again asked you?  If not,  sign into the account with just your browser and check for the logo in the Inbox message list.  See here------------------
