    So I’m gonna try to keep this as short and sweet as possible, but I doubt it’ll be either. The other day I was playing Stalker 2, and got booted off the game with the notification saying someone was playing elsewhere. At first, I thought it was just a bug since the game tends to be a little buggy. Booted the game back up in a couple minutes later I had the same notification. I immediately took the necessary steps to change my password, enabled 2FA, and contacted support. Apparently he had sent some sort of message that initially caught an eight day com ban. I appealed that and explained the situation. A day or two after, not only was my claim denied, they doubled down. I had received a 366 day suspension, citing no details on the enforcements page. I’ve tried countless times to contact support, filed an appeal on the year ban, which was denied as well, and have pretty much exhausted all options at this point. I’ve been a Xbox customer, fan, and avid supporter for a decade and a half, if not longer. Worst part is, you get one chance to appeal, and clearly whoever was working, mine had absolutely no idea what they were doing. It shouldn’t be that hard for them to tell that the IP address, the same IP I am always on, is not the same IP address from which that message and whatever else they may have done originated. It’s literally impossible. Yet when my case was “reviewed”, they determined that I was not only responsible, but would be punished so severely for something I not only had zero control over, should be easy to prove as such, but also so harshly AND without any further detail or explanation? This is absolutely outrageous, and I can’t stand for it. I just want to be able to continue enjoying online gaming with my friends, as it’s pretty much all I have/look forward to at this point in my life. The one thing I do with my spare time to keep my sanity and some semblance of a social life is now gone because of something I had absolutely no control over? It’s insanity. There HAS to be something I can do, someone I can speak to about all of this. I’m just hoping this post will eventually get around to someone who actually works in the enforcement department, or manager/executive that would be willing to look into and rectify this absolutely preposterous mess. It’s pretty much the last thing I can think to do, an optimistic Hail Mary. To whomever may read this, thank you for taking the time. It is much appreciated, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

    :)

    Xbox Account suspension.

    Thank you for the information but I had already secured my account and everything but the permanent ban hit the day after it was hacked. So basically it happened before I had a chance to fix my account since I wasn't on for a few days.

    Fraud doesn't always refer to purchases.. and since your account was banned I imagine there is more to this than some purchase disagreement.

    I have not done anything and I was banned the day after my account was hacked

    My account is hacked every other day.

    Hello Stacey Dolan,

    Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community. Just a reminder, here on community we are not able to double check accounts and devices to check for the possible issue. What we can do here is provide/guide customers with possible troubleshooting steps for the issue.

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your account being hacked. I understand how concerning this can be.

    Basing on the statement you provided above, here are some troubleshooting steps that you may try:



    1. Change your password again and make sure it is a strong and unique password that you have not used before.



    2. Enable two-factor authentication on your account. This will add an extra layer of security to your account and make it more difficult for hackers to gain access.



    3. Check your account activity regularly to ensure that there are no unauthorized logins or transactions.



    If the issue still persists, it would be the best to contact Xbox Live support so that they can double check your account and pull it up manually.



    Hope I helped!

    Keep in mind that bans or suspensions can happen weeks after the fact. Which means there are still people that could receive a punishment in the next day or week.
