Be on alert!! bogus Comcast phone calls

some of you may be aware of this scam - but for those who are not - please do not give any info to callers saying they have a great deal for you and your Comcast package..... I received two phone calls today, Sunday, within a two hour time frame from so-called Comcast representatives stating they had a really great deal/promotion going on........ first guy stated I could have my bill lowered to only $69.00 a month for a 2 yr contract. I asked for his name and a phone number I could call once I had time to think this over (which I was not considering at any point. I am already on guard as soon as I see an unfamiliar # on the caller ID) ....anyway, he gave me the number which is 866-694-8573. I was just going to let this call slide, but then about 40 mins later another call. This guy was definitely from outside the country. He offered a plan for only $25.99 a month! I just let him go on a bit and then I just hung up on him...... I decided called Comcast and spoke to a genuine Comcast employee and explained the calls I received . He said he knows these scams have occurred in the past but was unaware of anything currently happening. He was sending a notice to the Comcast Security Dept. While I was on the phone with the 'real' Comcast the scam person called three times but I did not click over to call-waiting. Once I hung up he called again and I just told him to quit calling me and that I know this is a scam and I called Comcast directly and they are on it! He hung up! I did google the phone # 866-694-8573 and there are scam comments and warnings tagged with this phone number. one is: ALERT. Do no do what they tell you. IT'S A SCAM... At the end they tell you to get pre-paid 5 months of your service in advance by purchasing a Pre-paid credit card a any local gas station and call them back with the number. So they take your money and you get nothing but robbed in return! .................please pass this along to your family & friends - especially the elderly who may be easier targets!! thanks for reading - sorry for being long-winded! I am fired up at these crooks! :) Sue
