(comcast) I just got off of the phone with a rep from Comcast and after describing the message to her she stated it was not from them. There was not a subject in the appropriate line of the one we received and there was a misspelling, and it asked for information in a suspicious manner. Threatening to close the accounts of anyone that did not answer the e-mail request for very specific information. Information they already have. The information is allegedly to confirm your account. You would have to assume the e-mail address the information was supposed to go to was for an outsource agency, I was not willing to do that. So I called them. Don't send them the information.

Beware of banks calling to 'verify account information' too; this happened to me not long ago. Your bank has more information about you than YOU do; they won't call. Always report this stuff to the organization the phisher is supposed to represent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
