    Anyone else getting 'phishy' messages?


    If there is a thread related to this issue and it is not just in my immediate friend circle let me know. I tried to find similar topics to no avail.

    The situation is a brand new account is made typically using a friends account and then quickly adding his or her friends and then sending those accounts messages like the following;

    "hi im Beverlie we go to class together remember! i used to have a crush on u Anyone else getting 'phishy' messages? :) text me really quick I have text u a few pis with me (phone number here)."

    then there is shared content from one of your friends accounts usually at the bottom. I have gotten one of these messages already and one of my friends (with a different account) have gotten the same kind of message though they are a bit different like I
    think one of them said it was Valery.

    The point being this is something not good and I hope it can get addressed right away. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

    :)

  3. Anyone else not getting MW3?

    You're a braindead retard if you watch that video, and still decide to buy MW3...seriously, you are an absolute moron. It's like choosing between a refurbished 98 Honda Accord (MW3), or a 2011 Jaguar XK-R (BF3).

    1. That's PC gameplay running on the best possible machine

    2. You didn't provide any comparable footage from MW3

    3. GTFO

    [/quote] The Console and PC gameplay are hardly going to have much difference. Nothing major at least.

    MW3 Gameplay looks like MW2 with a graphical touch-up and added gimmicks.

    Nah.

    [/quote]'

    Well we've already been over this, but I will bet you $10 that BF3 on consoles will look more like BC2 is now than what you see in BF3. The consoles simply can't produce those kinds of graphics.

    This point I do concede after seeing the MP gameplay. They definitely haven't added much graphically, so I guess it'll come down to gameplay.

    I was just saying that to the guy telling us we're retarded for not instantly liking his game of choice.

    Howdy!

    This spam has been going on for a while and recently has picked back up, gotten some weird ones and sale's spam messages in the past. Don't open, or interact with any of these messages that may seem "suspicious" to you.

    The best thing to do when you get messages like this is to report the messages via console, and usually the Xbox Enforcement Team takes action on these spam accounts very quickly.

    Definitely not worth replying or getting involved with people sending spam/scam messages and blocking and reporting the accounts is the best way to deal with it.

    Happy Gaming!

    you did the right thing with blocking them, if you receive any messages in future by any bot/spam account report the message and block straight away, do not reply to them at all.

    thank you for helping the Xbox community in being the best it can be

    You can also report the messages if the content is inappropriate.

    The original content had been removed from the post so not sure if it was.
