We have a loved one scheduled to be on this flight. He will be killed if he’s returned to the Taliban. He supported the US mission in Afghanistan. He has broken no laws. He came here legally. Seeking asylum should not be a death sentence.

Awareness of scams is important to avoiding them. This email is a scam. It has many indicators, but someone who is not aware or does not look closely could fall for it. It's very easy for me since I don't have an Xfinity account.
