Is [Edited] an xfinity phone number?
I got a call from this number where I was told that there has been some strange activity in my modem logs indicating that my firewall software needed to be upgraded. Nothing came of this other than the caller saying that he would put a note in my file that follow-up action would be needed (... updating my firewall). Logged on to my account and could not find any indication of a note to do anything.
Also, could not determine if this phone number was really from xfinity and thought to ask here. Has anyone gotten a call like this from this number?
Thanks...

It's not a Comcast phone number. I had the Forum Administrator @XfinityJessie check it for you. That's why it has been edited out of your post. It's phishing.

@user_yxcpot - Sounds like a SCAM...
(Do you rent the Cable Modem from Xfinity or do you use your own?)

Also: Remember that scammers can fake their caller IDs, so even a call that displays a legitimate number could still be a scammer. Sadly, caller ID cannot be trusted!
