I was just charged for an on demand movie I did not purchase

I got a text message at 10:38pm tonight thanking me for a rental of Downtown Abbey a New Era HD Movie for $19.99 -I did NOT rent this.  How is this happening and why was I billed for a movie I did not purchase.  I tried chatting with live agent and not working

so frustrating - it says live chat on support - and every time you try to click on it it says long wait times and it wants you to try later

@Die_800Service - Oh no! Thank you for your feedback. That is so odd. Rest assured you've reached the right team for help with charges for movies you did not order. Let's take a closer look together and we'll work towards a resolution. Please send us a private message with your full name and full service address.

This happened to me yesterday. Currently unable to get a hold of anyone to help via the online chat or on the phone.

Hello @bvlymlee! We hate to hear you've received notification about a movie purchase you didn't intend on. The first thing we always recommend is setting up a purchase pin on each one of your boxes to avoid any accidental purchases. We'll be happy to take a look at this one for you! Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address?

 "Search for Xfinity Support" won't work. To send a "Direct Messaging" message to Xfinity Support:

 

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary

 

 

  • 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

I no longer work for Comcast.

I to was just charged today for a movie I did not even watch but someone is watching it shows half way watched.  Was the woman king HD, not my type of movie no pun intended. I called and spoke with an agent was clueless too.  Someone is watching, common if I can see this then the agent can too makes no sense.  It's fine I know someone in LP with xfinity if it employee related this will be dealt with but I want I refund I forwarded the info.  Xfinity needs to be more on top of this takes trust away and security.

Thank you for reaching out. Our system normally takes between 24-72 hours to update when it comes to charges, movies, etc which may be the reason the representative may not have been able to see the movie you were speaking of. I would highly suggest adding a purchase pin onto your box to prevent unwanted movie and show purchases and rentals. You can follow the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-parental-controls-turn-puchase-protection-on-off.

 

Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!
