Scam Description
Tried to get autopay set up for comcast. googled it and clicked on a phone number 1-855-857-5126 person picked up on first ring, hint one, Comcast never does that. said my name is Sam how can i help you. I replied is this Comcast, he stuttered uh yes this is Comcast. hint two. asked for my information and he confirmed my address like Comcast does. then asked for my bank info. I stupidly gave it to him and then tried to confirm it was set up with a visit to me local Comcast store and it was not! I immediately closed the checking account and opened a new one. when i asked for a confirmation number he said there was none. hint three. I was dumb, just trying to keep it from happening to someone else.
