That domain has not yet been registered, so a site cannot be there. No
need to get knickers in a twist for URLs pointing nowhere.

You didn't show any other URLs, but then you didn't show the raw source
of the phish e-mail to check tracing through the Received headers, and
to see whatever other hyperlinks there were in the message.

The phish e-mail wants you to update your address info in your Comcast
account, but you don't show a URL to where the phish e-mail wants to
take you. If there were no hyperlinks in the message, and the only URL
is the unregistered one where no server could reside, it's a worthless
phish e-mail. It isn't trying to lure you to somewhere evil. Since it
is asking for your to update your account info without providing any
hyperlink, you would have to visit your Comcast account. So, maybe it
isn't a phish e-mail.

You claim it is a phish without showing the headers which would divulge
from where the message originated. And you don't show there are any
hyperlinks in the message (which, if present, could point you to
somewhere other than Comcast). You don't prove it is a phish,
especially with such a bad copy-n-paste job.

I tell folks today we are living in a sea of thieves. Most of the email
I get is from them. They must think we are not to bright as an email
that says it is from your bank has a gmail address for the sender.

Regardless, Comcast filtering seems to be non-existent.

this just showed up telling me to confirm account info:

Filters don't always work.

Use an email that the spammers won't guess.
Example:  hair3.141592653589...@comcast.net

Whitelists also work but can be a PITA to maintain.

[leonard hofstatder]

Doesn't matter, there are many search results for customers assuming
that Comcast selling our email addresses to advertispammers either by
corporate or employees.

Another search finds that the customer is basically solely responsible
for setting up and maintaining spam filtering and message rules.

ComcastNBC might be a lefty-looney-libtard fake news organization and
you might need an advanced math degree to understand your cable bill but...
my @comcast email gets zero spam. If you're getting spam, I seriously
doubt Comcast is to blame.
