Someone on chat from customer support just asked for my social security number because their system “is being upgraded”

I was very suspicious, but it turns out to be legitimate

comcast@delivery.net

What kind of a moron do they think I am? Well, certainly not one who would fall for such obvious phish bait.

Dear Valued Comcast Customer,

Should read, if legit,

Dear ,

I think it is legit, but as the original post states, it points back to three different Comcast -ish web addresses. This is ridiculous.

You would think that an ISP would have a better way of spreading the word (how ’bout a letter in the mail?).

I never really know when to report these to the company as i have gotten a lot of emails i thought to be fishing. I want to call the company and either say
A) there is a phishing scam coming from X or
B) your email looks fake.

So, here is how you figure it out:
Click/go to the link. Type in a bogus userid and password. If it seems to let you in, you know its a fake (since they don’t know what the password is, they can’t validateit). You can also try the password reminder tools. On fake sites, these go to nowhere or don’t work.

For instance I’ve gone 6 months without being a comcast customer, and would still want to retain my online account because if another 6 months I decide to sign up again, I rather not sign up a new userid, etc. I’ve done this before with my electricity service..

Also I can see myself being an active customer, and because I’v been paying my account via automatic bill pay, I haven’t logged into my account and my account could be inactivated and I rather keep it active.
