COMCAST IS UNDERGOING PHISH SPOOF RIGHT NOW.

It looks like this:

 

 

Comcast
Dear Comcast Customer,

It has come to our attention that your Comcast User Profile records are out of date. This requires you to update your User Profile information. Failure to update your records will result in account termination. Please update your records within 24 hours. Once you have updated your account records, your Comcast service will not be interrupted and will continue as normal. Failure to update will result in cancellation of service, Terms of Service (TOS) violations or future billing problems.

 

I called Comcast and it is a spoof to phish data from your computer. Remember that this might pull all sorts of data from your machine above and beyond your account data.

Hallmarks of a con: "give me your info, or click on this link, as soon as possible (so I can shut up this link to avoid being spotted) or else bad things will happen".

Good luck and pass it on.
