    It appears to be a lot easier to make purchases than to protect yourself. My kids are 12 and 9 and quickly figured out how to crack the basic securities and made ~$500 in Vbuck purchases. XBox has since denied us a refund and won't give any further explanation. Customer service as a whole seems to no longer exist and advertising has gotten extremely predatory. It's disappointing how easy it is to make these purchases and then almost impossible to get them voided. I don't want any of the garbage my kids bought staying on their account. I wanted that gone. I guess it's up to me to just walk away from Xbox and their predatory marketing.

    I understand your frustration
    I really hope that everything gets sorted out as soon as possible

    Just as an extra advice, if your card has a freezing feature via your bank app. Please keep that option enabled unless you really need to use the card
    In that way you can reduce to almost 0% these situations

    I appreciate the help and follow-up. I was able to get the link to work and tried to submit a refund. I'm just crushed by all of this and hope we can resolve the issue. Thanks again for the help!

    Hi, that’s odd
    I tested the link and worked without problems in my case

    If possible please try:

    1. Use a different device and open the link from there
    2. Open a new private / incognito window in your current device and try again
    3. Try using a complete different Wi-Fi network

    PS: if maybe you’re using a VPN, proxy, firewall or similar service please turn off all the protections temporarily

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this mate

    You can try asking for a refund using the form below:

    https://support.xbox.com/forms/request-a-refund

    In case your refund gets denied, you can actually file an appeal for the results of the refund.

    All you need to do is to reply to the email that was sent to you by the refund team, you can reply with a detailed explanation so they can review your request again and grant you a possible exception.

    If maybe the request is denied , the best option is dispute the charge directly with your bank and ask them to cancel all these charges
