Email from "Admin" Stating My Email is "Under Review"?

[FirecrackerGirl]

Just got an email supposedly from Xfinity that was from "Admin" (shows another email with gmail address) and states my "email is under review for security purposes." I was supposed to click on the small words "Xfinity" but, of course, I didn't as I'm marking this as spam trying to get into my computer somehow and/or my account.  Has anyone else gotten this type of email lately?  There is nothing wrong with my email as it's about online orders or church stuff or similar emails.  I'm just a baby boomer who's trying to be proactive against this type of stuff--too much of it everywhere!  Susan

I've received two emails like that this week. On this forum I learned to look for a red Xf on the left side of the email's subject line, plus the words "Verified Email. Learn More." If that's  there, Xfinity is the source; if not, don't open it. A red exclamation point came with the latest phishing attempt; watch out for similar.  I wish Xfinity would weed out this stuff before it reaches my inbox.  Surely that can be done.
