email upgrade notification

I received the email below.  I am reluctant to click on the link as I cannot confirm this is from you. Can you please confirm if this is valid or a scam:

Looks like phishing/ email.  Reported it as abuse/fraud.

Hey @user_gn97xm , Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out regarding your email. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance looking into this further for you. If you log into Connect.Xfinity.com this will take you to the steps for upgrading your account to Yahoo mail as email addresses are being moved. I would not click on any links in that email just yet as a precautionary measure.  What is the email "from" address this may be a good indication if it is a legit email?

... I am reluctant to click on the link ...

Good thing too! The "CLICK HERE TO RE-LOGIN UPDATE NOW!!" link leads to a scammer phishing site. "Update" emails that have any sort of "click here or lose your access" demand are almost always scams.

Do not click!

Check email that claims to be from Comcast/Xfinity with their Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/) and look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo. See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-verified-email for examples of valid logo placement. A logo in the body of the email does not count.

Unfortunately, AFAIK the logo is not present when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you use their web email site, and only for email sent to a Comcast.net address.

To report a scam email follow the instructions under the "How do I report phishing email sent to or from a Comcast.net email account?" heading on https://spa.xfinity.com/help/email-abuse?faq=spam-email.
