Beware of SCAMMERS

I and my boyfriend have been recently getting messages from random people all along the lines of hey I'm 22 and work as video chat person, I have some free passes if you want one but I need a credit card to verify your over 18. They say they get my gamer
tag through an Xbox app and everytime I report the message and add a comment with why I'm reporting them. So Xbox you need to fix this I'm sure we aren't the only ones receiving this due to how often it happens. Please fix this soon it's very annoying

 

Better double check commerce.microsoft.com to make sure your membership is still intact. Also contact phone support for your region as well just to be sure. Better safe than sorry.

 

Hey there, ellusive! Thank you so much for providing this to us! You have done exactly the right thing by not clicking anything, and Onyx's advice is definitely sound. If you could post back what email sent this to you so that we could pass it on to the
appropriate teams, that would help us out a lot!

 

I think I got a scam email as well: Invitation from Microsoft Studios User Research team.

Greeting from Microsoft Studios User Research!

We’d love to get your feedback on Minecraft for Xbox One. If you play Minecraft on the Xbox One and would like to participate, please follow the link below which will direct you to an online survey. The survey is about 20 questions and should take 5-10 minutes
to complete. In return for your time you will be entered into a sweepstakes for free Microsoft software (including games!). Please note that the survey is only open to US residents 18 and over.

If you took this survey last month you are welcome (and encouraged!) to take it again. We'd like your feedback, even if your opinion of the game has not changed!

From this email: Survey Research <*** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***>

Maybe its real, but I did not clik the link because it just has that feel of a scam.

 

I would just like to add that you can often tell if it is a scam email by simply viewing the link path. If you hover your mouse pointer over the link (don't click it!) on the bottom left corner of your browser window it will display where the link would
take you if you were to click on it. Some times they are clever with it such as something like micrsoft.com or or microsft.com in the address somewhere or a variation that looks similar. Or it might be obvious such as some other address with a string of characters
behind it or even just an IP address.

I get them for Microsoft Security Essentials sometimes. Those ones are dangerous.

 

Hey, oOUTSIDERo62! That email is one of ours, and is totally safe to take. You are free to take that survey without worrying about your account being taken. :3 Thanks for double checking with us!

 

actually I got an e-mail like that too. But it wasn't from Microsoft I remember exactly what it said, it said: Running low on cash? Go to Gamerloans.com and that the person just got $400 as a loan in less than 5 minutes with bad credit. Almost like a commercial.
The e-mail came from someone called PianoWallnut so can I please get help with this?

 

Hey there, ToughCat019! This sounds like one of the Live messages going around to several users. You will want to report them through your console so that the Enforcement team can investigate.

 

Thanks Misses Quinzel, good to know its real, and I will be taking that survey.
