xfinity emails

Hi,

 

I keep getting notifications from xfinity on an email address that is not from Comcast (Yahoo).

 

I have searched several times, all three of my current accounts, and I cannot find any reference to this particular email address to turn them off.

 

Can someone with access search the database and find out why this is happening?  There is not an unsubscribe link on these emails.  They do seem genuine as all links are to xfinity/Comcast addresses.

 

Thanks

If those emails are asking you to "verify" or "upgrade" something, they are probably phishing emails.

They do not - they appear to be official xfinity communications.

 

 

Here is the text - all links are to valid Comcast addresses.

It does look legit, but if you're accessing your email on an email client  you should access it on webmail to check for the verified logo for this email.  If you see that, then the email is legitimately from Comcast.
