    Fraudulent use of family Sharing


    I've noticed that a certain 'company' uses the Xbox One's Family Sharing option to sell Digital games mulitple times for a price almost half of the retail value.

    What they sell is an account with the game you buy on it, you're supposed to download the game on the account and then remove the account again. They sell the account to more than one person to get more profit.

    I said 'company' but I think it's just one or two people using Facebook / Marktplaats (an ebay like sales page).

    These are the links:

    As any person I like to pay less for my games, but things like these just hurts the companies making the games / consoles.

    :)

  3. What exactly was Family Sharing

    "Family Sharing as it is" is unfortunately none existent, Family Sharing is a different service to what use to be the Family Gold plan and both are none existent at this stage, i do like that the 1 Gold plan covers an XB1 in its entirety for every profile
    on that console,

    me personally i would prefer the Family Sharing plan over the old Family Gold plan if it ever come down to choosing one or the other.

    Family Sharing was to share digital games among 10 people,

    3 consoles in 1 home to share games?

    Is a siblings account the same as family sharing? Family sharing option does not seem to be working for us. It is saying try again…

    I have done nothing wrong and am about to loose hundreds of dollars due to fraud investigation! Someone please help!

    OP: To clarify, you have contact both Xbox support and your bank about these fraudulent charges? When you say "fraudulent" charges, do you mean that your account is compromised (someone you don't know has control of it) or was it used on your console by
    a friend or family member? Please try to keep your posts short and simple; I'm having a hard time following these long posts. Thanks!
