E-Mail and Xfinity Connect Help

[Fortenorte]

I got the following message:

From: Comcast Xfinity - support@comcast.net

Dear comcast Member,

According to our records, log in attempts were made to log in to your account from different foreign IP addresses.
This is a review of your comcast account and if you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you.

Sorry for the hassle, and thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Comcast  Review Department.

Is the message legitimate or phishing?

I did not click the link.

Any light you can shed on this will be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim

It's a phishing email, an attempt to steal login and account information.

Please edit your message to remove the phishing link, which is still active! (Click Options, Edit)

Microsoft Smart Screen alerted me to this when I clicked the link to see if it was still active. I did not contine to the site as I have no doubt it would be a fake sign in site. The unsafe address is the clue it is a fake site. Comcast does not have any addresses at .org

I figured that it was phishing.

Looks like that address is on the no-go list.

Thanks
