Is this legitimate?  I didn't want to click on the link in case it was a virus.  Please advise.

Re: Comcast - Block Removal Request

I received the same email today.

 

I figure it is spam; note that they misspelled "department", and used a plural where singular is correct, e.g. "blacklists departament".  Also, the return address didn't look right...."comcast@blacklist.com"

 

I've received one other spam email claiming to be from comast in the last few months....I called them about it and they verified that it was an attempt at identify theft, but it wasn't until months later that they "warned" me about it in a piece of snail mail.

Virus or spam or phish attempt-whichever one it is not from Comcast.

 

If you hover over click here and look at bottom left corner of your screen you will see the URL of the page it goes to.

 

In this case the URL is h t t p://dhdutcher.home.comcast.net/~dhdutcher/  (link broken so it is not clickable even though the link does lead to a non-active page)

 

Looking at the URL by hovering over it will be an good indication that a mail is not a legitimate Comcast mail.
