I received a call from this number today at 3:04PM EST. The guy asked me, is this (called me by my last name)? He said there was a problem with my firewall. I checked and my firewall is active and there are no problems with it. It's just a scam! However, this number they called from is an actual number for Xfinity. It appears they s****ed the real number to make people think the call is from a legit Xfinity representative. Not the first time I've gotten these scam calls saying there's a problem with my firewall!!!
(800) 266-2278 - June 12th, 2025 9:57pm
This person has acquired key strokes to my phone and access to all of my security cameras. I’m fairly certain they also have my bank information. Please be advised. Do not take calls from this number. I would suggest you call the police and file a report if you’ve been contacted by them and given them any information at all.
(800) 266-2278 - March 13th, 2025 2:45pm
I received a call from this number saying that Xfinity was getting multiple reports that my modem firewall security was set too low. I said I wasn't home but if he'd tell me what was needed I would look into it when I got home. He ***g up on me. I realized it was a phishing scam.

Keeps calling my wife's cell and leaving messages for someone unknown to us saying that their Comcast bill is seriously overdue. My wife called and explained that we were not the person they were trying to contact. Was told that they only way to stop the calls was to visit out local Xfinity office with proper ID and that ".....maybe the calls would stop." If this really is Comcast it's a pretty lame way to conduct business. Plan on contacting Comcast and my state's Attorney General.

You guys are full of it I've had Comcast since November and they have bent over backwards for me to make my bill affordable. Satelite companies do not do that. With satelite you either have to sign a contract or buy the equipment plus you dont get phone and internet for the price of one plus in bad weather your SOL on TV. I know this I have had both DirecTV and DISH. I was pay 100 bucks just for SD with DISH. With Comcast I pay that for all three with Comcast.
(800) 266-2278 - June 10th, 2013 4:02pm
i've only had there service 2 months and have had nothing but trouble. i don't feel i should be in such a hurry to pay them for service that is less than professional. when i call them i always seem to get disconnected ....and they dont call back .but b 2 days late on payment and they will call you. even if its sunday.
(800) 266-2278 - May 6th, 2013 10:29pm
No message, but Comcast makes sense. Talked to them 3 times with 3 different versions of the situation from different reps, maybe this was a 4th viewpoint
(800) 266-2278 - December 13th, 2013 9:20pm
Don't call them here! They send your call to Mexico City or Taiwan. Call Corporate at (215) 286-1700. A real person answers the phone.

Yes, then I ignored it and they texted me from 501-623-2128 with this message; "Mastercard ALERT - CARD LOCKED PLEASE CALL 501 623 2128" I reprted it a month ago and the police found that they are located somewhere in the Houston area, but they have other poeple working with them in other states! They want your credit card number and pin so they can steal your iden***y and that is a federal offense which the fbi are already on to and ready to make arrests! Report whatever number calls you or any unknown texts you recieve!
