"The Classic Version of Comcast Mail Will Be Replaced By Our New Version" email message below, which claims recipients' Comcast Mail version is outdated and has expired, is a phishing scam being used to target Comcast customers. The phishing email message, which also claims that if the recipients do not update their information, their accounts will be permanently closed, is being sent by cybercriminals to trick Comcast customers into clicking on the link in it. The link in the email message goes to a fake Comcast website that will ask visitors to sign-in. Once visitors attempt to sign into the fake website with their Comcast credentials, the information will be sent to the cybercriminals behind the phishing scam.

Once the cybercriminals have received the stolen Comcast credentials, they will use it to hijack their potential victims’ accounts and use the accounts fraudulently. This is why Comcast customers should never click on links in email messages to sign into their accounts, they should instead, go directly to https://www.xfinity.com/ and sign into their email accounts from there. If there is someone that needs to be done their accounts, they will be notified after signing in.

Comcast customers who have been tricked by the phishing scam are asked to contact Comcast for help.

    I received one of those phony emails & I replied by asking for further details and/or a phone number. I did not expect
