    Being spammed with messages from various websites


    Hi,

    I wondered if anyone could help? Recently for some unknown reason I've been getting multiple messages a day from new gamertags (no friends or GS) and no matter how many times I block and report I get another message the following day from a different gamertag
    advertising the same site.

    Quite frankly it's driving me up the wall now.

    I get one telling me to get FIFA points (I don't even play FIFA ultimate team!!) from a website for cheap, the site is [Mod removed]

    and also another about entering a raffle to win an xbox one console on a website called [Mod removed]

    Where these spamming messages have come from I've no idea, but they're happening multiple times a day now and it's driving me mad. As I've said I don't play FIFA ultimate team nor add random people nor do I go on websites and enter my gamertag for one reason
    or another, I just simply log on to play for fun between working and seeing friends.

    Any help with this would be great.

    :)

    It's all well and good saying delete and block, but when there popping up one after each other a blocking parts of the screen, especially on fifa where it's blocks the radar,

    It does tend to get annoying

    There's been a few threads about this. All you can do for now is block/report, as McShoop mentioned above. If someone's found a way to send automated messages over Live to spam people, hopefully MS will shut that loophole down soon. I've had a couple of
    spam messages about FIFA myself and it's the first time I've had spam messages sent to me since I joined Xbox Live.

    I am getting them all you can do is report it and block them, but they will show up with another GT so you could be doing that non stop.
