    Help my account is being Spammed


    My account as of 12 hours ago has gotten over 150 new follows from people with 0 gamer score and tons of messages regarding free video games as well as trying to get personal Information. How are these spam accounts allowed to exist? And why is my account
    being targeted? I feel strongly like my account may become compromised soon if these spam bots don't stop. What's going on XBOX?

    :)

    My account is being spammed and I got banned

    Hey W8! Smwutches provided the proper information. Offensive language of any kind is not allowed on Xbox Live, your best bet is to report and block the offending account. Thanks!

  8. Help my account is being Spammed

    Hey there Trent Help my account is being Spammed :)

    The Enforcement Team only respond to account suspension inquiries and don't usually go outside of their own forum sections. There has been a surge in spam over the past few days as I have too received some myself and although there is a large number, the
    best thing to do is treat it like any other account that breaches the terms of use / code of conduct. Report it and then block communications. You can do this via their profiles. The enforcement team will review the complaint and take the appropriate action
    necessary.

    I hope this helps.

    Many thanks,

    Cloud

  10. Hey there Wickeder Help my account is being Spammed :)

    Mister Fizzle is indeed a staff member but he is not a member of the enforcement team. That is an entirely different department and they do not deal with each others roles or responsibilities. With that being said, there is nothing that the enforcement team
    need to do at this point. It is our responsibility and choice as gamers to report anyone to the enforcement team first via the advice in my previous post. This is the most effective way to deal with this sort of problem.

    Many thanks,

    K so in other words this is going to be allowed to continue, and I have to personally block hundreds upon hundreds of profiles following me that clearly are silver spam accounts with 0 gamerscore, I pay a premium service so I can take time out of my day
    when I actually have time to play to do this? Really?

    So since I made this post I have 70 new followers, not including the 100+ I have already blocked. Also on the Microsoft glass app there is no way for me to report players and I am definitely not doing this on my Xbox controller it would take hours, it already
    takes me a good 45 minutes on my phone to clear the new followers every day.

    Why are Microsoft not doing anything to make it pointless to spam , IE set it so that you can only send 5 consecutive messages or 10 in a given time frame ( For party invite sakes) and then it cools down - thus if a spammer is scripting tonnes of messages
    to accounts it auto blocks for check purposes - once validated as a human user all is good to send messages, if user does not respond to block warn then the hammer stays down on that account ??? There has to be a way to slow or stop this as live is not an
    email system yet its starting to look like a junk mail box in my message queue .
