FRAUD: Over 3 weeks, my services have been pending cancellation 5 times as someone has fraudulently opened new services at my address

I'm experiencing serious fraud with my Comcast services as being marked as pending cancellation five times over the past three weeks as someone has fraudulently opened new services at my address.  I've spent hours on the phone with Comcast to no avail.  Since I can't get Comcast to resolve this issue, I will be forced to change providers.

I've already reported this to the local news investigative team and the FTC.

Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, how did you resolve it?

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hello @user_5pkaap I am very sad to hear you were a victim of fraud. I will be more than happy to help you have this account cancelled. Can you first send me adirect message with the name and address on the account in question 

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it.

Thank you, but I've already called to have my services marked as not pending termination.  I was told fraudulent accounts #1, 2 and 5 were cancelled, but I couldn't get the Comcast supervisor to close fraudulent accounts #3 and 4 - instead he opened a ticket that no one has called me about.

My issue is why does Comcast keep allowing this to happen (i.e., 5 times over 3 weeks).  I keep telling them this is fraudulent, but no one resolves the issue.  I can't keep calling Comcast every time this happens.

Would you like to give me the information for accounts 3 and 4 to check the status on any cancellations?

Can I send it directly to you?  All I have is my address - I don't know what names were used.

Can you help me to get someone to actually resolve the issue so that this fraud stops happening?

The CSA team hasn't helped.  I've already had conversations with them and the ticket that was opened with them had no resolution.
