Xfinity Email Bombarded With Spam Daily May 2025 [Edited]

My Xfinity email inbox has been bombarded with spam for the past three weeks. It's very annoying! I take the time to copy the source and send it to "Abuse at Xfinity" and "Reportphising." What else can I do to STOP the daily bombardment of spam?  Should I attempt to speak with someone at Xfinity?

Thank you for taking the time to meet us here in our community about your spam emails, @AJL. We know it can be frustrating to deal with. The best way to block spam emails in Xfinity Email is to use the spam filters and email filters provided. You can mark unwanted emails as spam, which moves them to the Spam folder and helps train the spam filter. To set up spam filters, follow these steps:

  1. Open Xfinity Email.
  2. Click the Gear icon and select Email Settings.
  3. Adjust your spam filter preferences.


Additionally, you can create specific email filters to block emails from certain addresses or domains for more control over your inbox.

Thank you, Linda, but your suggestion would be extremely time-consuming since the spam I receive is NOT being sent by a SINGLE sender.  I am familiar with the "filter" procedure.  I tried it, and it doesn't work!  Xfinity needs to do something on its end to prevent this barrage.  I have other email servers that I never receive the bombardment of spam that I am currently experiencing with Xfinity (up to 15-20 per day).

It is very frustrating and annoying that this multitude of spam emails is in your system, and then in my inbox.  I do not constantly surf the internet, which would allow my IP address to be out there.  I currently copy the headers and report them to "abuse@comcast and reportphishing@apwg.org".  This also takes up my time!  I would greatly appreciate if you would escalate this to your security department or someone with the knowledge to reduce this bombardment.

Same problem here. I believe comcast sells your email address.

@jebsr - Xfinity, like our parent company Comcast, has a clear and strong stance on customer privacy. Our official privacy policy explicitly states: 'We do not sell, and have never sold, information that identifies who you are to anyone.' This includes your email address, along with other personal identifiers like your name, address, internet usage information, video usage information, or call detail information.

 

We are committed to protecting your personal information and uses it primarily to provide you with their services, communicate with you about your account, and improve their offerings. While we do use data for purposes like personalized advertising and recommendations, we emphasize that we do not sell information that directly identifies you, including your email address, to third parties for our own independent use.

 

We also offer a Privacy Center where customers can manage their preferences, including opting out of certain data uses for marketing and advertising. This demonstrates our commitment to giving customers control over their information.

 

In essence, I assure you that your email address is not being sold by Xfinity.

Sara....  Did you escalate my complaint to someone with knowledge on how Xfinity can resolve this issue, WITHOUT having to use the so-called FILTER that is not designed for these random emails with different senders and subject titles?

I would greatly appreciate a response, even if no one knows how to accomplish this.
