I received a text stating I could lower my cable bill each month, So unfortunately I called, everything Sounded exactly like Comcast Xfinity they had all the Recordings and music exactly the same. I was told I could lower my bill for the next 3 years. It would go from $300.00 a Month to $ 150.00 Sounded great all I needed to do was get $1,500.00 in gift cards from Target I did ! He also mentioned… not to mention this at Target or they will Charge me Tax ! Then he Told me he forgot to also mention I would receive a Free iPhone 14 of my color choice. Well to make a long story short came home called back gave the Gift Card Numbers , Then he had another Fabulous Deal For me. For Only $ 1,200.00 More I Could have a lifetime payment of $ 150.00 on my Cable Bill ! I was actually on my way to retrieve 3 More Gift cards & Called my Son who is a Sub Contractor for Comcast & my Son Told Mom Ur Being Scammed ! That’s How good These Guys were with the Sounds and Wording but the Best Part Was they Were able to get into My iPhone & take my Xfinity account balance which was 298.00$ & make my Balance 00.00 $ it Didn’t Stay that way I Still Had to pay the 298.00$ to Comcast, don’t know how they got in my Phone ! I’m Only writing this to Hopefully Save Someone from these Predators, I Never Reported this, I did call 911 to report them, But Because they aren’t gonna get my $$$ Back I Cslled back & Cancelled the 911 Call. but it was Definitely someone who worked for Comcast or use to ! They got $1,500.00 off me & I Hope This doesn’t happen to anyone else ! There are Thousands of these Predators out there, So many are getting Scammed its amazing how they all have a Indian Accent also ! Beware & Think Don’t Get Scammed Like I did ! A Honest Reputable Company wouldn’t have you Pay with Gift Cards !

I believe Comcast/Xfinity has security leak and scammers are calling on behalf of Xfinity to scam people with a supposed offer between Targe & Xfinity partnership where they lure the customer to buy gift cards or pay with a Target credit card for the upcoming 10 months worth the "offered discounted service" in advance in order to get the promotion of 2 years half price courtesy of Target to save on the internet bill. First they leave a VM from an AR number 501-222-4050 saying call this number to take advance of the offer that expires today, so I called to find out. When you call the fake number provided 844-203-8625 to call back they even have an advertisement that sounds exactly the same as it was from the real Xfinity company while you are on hold. While a was on the phone with the scammer he said log in to your Xfinity account and go to payments and you will see it will go down to $0 because they are going to pay for the 10 months you are paying. So they they follow in to say you need to buy the gift cards for $650.00 (I choose the gift card because I don't have a Target credit card and I didn't wanted to apply for one no I'm happy otherwise they would of send me a fake link and steal all my personal information) and call the accounting department to put them in to your account. After I fall for it, they send a text saying "there's an issue with your Xfinity payment" and I called again to find out they wanted me to buy another set of gift cards and in return because the ones I got are no longer valid (yes because they empty them out!!!) they will refund me the first set. Yeah that didn't happened. So I tried to go online and take my bank information off and stop any automatic payments I had on my xfinity account but still they managed to charge another $100.00 and they had withdrawal the "money they paid for me" Then I got another text saying I was being charged a penalty fee because obviously the "scam payment" didn't when through. Comcast doesn't have live agents to answer the phone to report this type of issues and their website and chats are hacked, I don't trust neither any more. If you leave a message to have an agent to call back, they never do and if they did the call was probably from the hacker again. Every time I tried to report this problem you could tell they hack the chat conversation because the connection drops an connects again with a different "agent". I had not responded to any more text, emails or attempted to chat again. I will leave the invoice unpaid until we get the service disconnected and look for another provided. I'm tired of being afraid to contact somebody that you don't know if its real or fake.

A guy called, said he was calling about my account that had an outstanding balance. He had an old address from over 10 years ago and my last name that I haven’t used in over 6 years. He told me that I was lying and someone who was married would be taking care of their responsibilities. Called me a liar and cursed at me.

Then after I hung up, someone else called from an unblocked number from the same place with a bunch of people talking in the background sounding like a call center.

They texted my mother to say that she would get 50$ discount on Comcast Xfinity and to call the number: 855-218-0030. I called the number and quickly realized that it was spam. So I asked them why they were scamming people. the person on the other line looked up my number and my name and threatened me. Then I kept calling them because I was worried that they would come after me. I called a total of 5 times, each call lasting a total of about 30 minutes. These people need to be found and prosecuted because they have threatened me.

The scammer continutes to call both the my daughter and myself. They asked for $300 upfront and said they would reduce the xfinity comcast bill by 50%. And that we would not have to make the next two payments. The 3rd month the payment would be $1.09 or whatever was half.

They called my house number which said Comcast on my caller id. Claim to be with Comcast and had all of my mother's identifying information, so she believed them. They told her about a deal to refuce her bill, but wanted her to get a gift card worth $350. My mother did, and when trring to activate the card, they kept telling her she was giving them the wrong numbers. 3x, then they said she no longer qualified, but they got the funds off the csrd, because indeed she gave the correct numbers.

rcvd a computerized vm from comcast on my cell phone saying I can get my existing services. from $79.99 a month including taxes. I called the # on the vm and the guy (sounded like he was from India or middle east) and he said yes, I could but I would have to pay 5 months up front $79.99 and then there would be no bill and it was to be sent in 5 target gift cards. I had a hard time understanding him. He asked if I was interested. I said i couldn't understand him and why would I do that, pay 5 months ahead in 5 target gift cards. I said I was not interested in the offer. IHe did send me an email with this in writing. I did get the email. I then called comcast /Xfinity and asked if this was a legitimate promotion and they said no it was definitely a scam and would report it to the manager. here is the email detials i got.

i recvd a call from a # that I didnt know from cincinati ohio, I let it go to vmail & immed checked msg via text script.... it said "hi there this call is to remind you that 50% discount offer on comcast/Xfinity acct expires today in iirder to avail the discount please call back at 833-631-6834.... The only reason i called back is because I'm moving apts in a few days & ive been meaning to call them to switch service to new address. when you call it sounds like a legit xfinity #. an asian guy answered & he verified my service address & last digits of xfinity acct # (which i dont know & i told him i dont have info in front of me - im just returning ur call about deal) & he then verified amount of my last payment made which was last wk. He then tells me that I can get 50% off of which would bring monthly bill to $66.80 per month & discount is good for the next 3 yrs. in the meantime I tell him im moving & want to switch service. 1st he tells me to call back to do & i said no- i want to do now & immediately said ok when do you want- I said on the 6th & he said - what time? which put my guard up because they usually say ok between 9-4 or give 1st avail datet 1 week or more...he then said- ok done! i said- please send me confirmation! he quickly changed subjects & asked me if i want to do deal which i can take to new place & then informed me that in order to get 50% off I'd have to pay 5 months up front & some kind of a $300 fee.... I said no thank you - at this point I knew it was a scam- his voice changed & he then demanded an answer to WHY NOT? i said im not paying any $ up front & he got angry & voice got more demanding & sarcastic & I told him I was reporting him as a scammer & he of course hung up on me. It sounds like a legit xfinity # when you call. it has automated xfninty audio voice system & all.
