report phishing to Xfinity goes to Bad Request

I have received a phishing email from "Xfinity Mobile" I want to report it because it looks genuine but the link goes to a Japanese site.

When I tried to report it in chat and now with a link I found in this forum it goes to

Bad Request

Hello @sgtjdc! When reporting phishing emails, it is critical that you send us the email headers. Please do not forward the phishing email. Forwarding the email will remove the original headers.

Once you have copied the full message headers from the spam message, paste the header and the message into an email and send it to abuse@comcast.net with the subject line "Phishing email".
