Received letter from Xfinity stating someone changed preferred email address

As stated, I received a letter stating "you or another user recently changed one or more of the following features" "your preferred email address was changed." When I signed in the email address seemed to be unchanged. However we have been victims of identity theft recently with fraudsters attempting to steal some of our other accounts. Clearly we do not want to post our account information in a public forum, how can we directly contact someone? I'd write an actual letter, but your letter contained no return address (even on the envelope!).

So after a week I got an email from the "amazing Customer Security Assurance team" that directed me back here with no other answer. I suspect Xfinity support now consists entirely of bots with zero human involvement on their end. And this was to try to warn them someone may have been attempting to steal service, which mostly hurts them not me.

Hello again user_0ws7na. I'm sorry to hear that the security team was no help with investigating the preferred email address change. I know that it can be concerning especially if you have been down the path before of people hacking / stealing accounts. The energy spent on fixing those issues is unbelievable. I would be happy to see if there's anything we can identify on this side for your account and help ensure it's secure. Can you please send us a direct message with your name and service address?

I see numerous Xfinity customers go through the same thing as I do. Repeatedly call for help two long visits to our local stores. The last visit, River Park in Fresno CA, one hour and at the end we were told everything has been corrected. But no it wasn't. Our problem - our landline is listed as our mobile. All codes get texted to the landline.
