Xfinity gift‑card scam: How to protect your bill? - +1 800-935-0716 ((800) 935-0716)
Summary — +18009350716
Expert Opinion
Ever wonder why a call promising a 50% bill cut asks for Target gift cards? The pattern is a classic gift‑card scam where callers pretend to be Xfinity or Comcast reps, claim they can lock in huge discounts, and then demand prepaid cards as payment. Never share gift‑card numbers, PINs, or any prepaid‑card details with anyone who calls you first. Hang up, verify the offer by logging into your account on the official provider’s website or calling the known customer‑service number. Report the incident to the FTC via reportfraud.ftc.gov and to the FBI’s IC3 portal. If you’ve already sent a card, contact the card issuer immediately to cancel and flag the transaction as fraudulent.
