Help my Xbox account is getting follow botted

Hi 腹違いの兄弟 マ, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

We can't stop people from following our accounts, they are trying to add you as friends.

As long as you don't accept the invite, you should be fine.

I recommend you review your privacy settings to prevent any information from being shared without your consent: https://account.xbox.com/settings

You will not get suspended by the number of followers you have.

It's a good idea to report and block these accounts.

You can find a very detailed guide on how to report accounts on this link: https://support.xbox.com/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/file-a-complaint

I hope this helps.

Yes i understand i have been banned for botted followers but what im saying I DID NOT bot the followers. People use a tool to bot follow someone’s account and the account owner pays the price for SOMEONE ELSE bot following THEIR account do you not understand how this is wrong? It is entirely out of my control i cant stop someone from spamming bots to follow my account and the enforcement team knows this. Like i could find someone to bot follow someone’s account and result in their account getting banned how is that even legal or fair? I understand there is nothing you can do to help except send the same enforcement link which doesnt do anything as my appeal was already denied but i am posting this to spread awareness to other players that may have the same issue. Microsoft need to fix this immediately it is wrong to permanently ban someone for someone else bot following their account making me lose all my games and content i have paid for and all my progress over 16+ years with 111k gamerscore.

Hi NeRdSiLeNcEr085!

We cannot really control that from happening because anyone can follow us. If someone botted you followers it shouldn't be your fault. So long as you didn't violate any of the Xbox Community Standards here https://www.xbox.com/legal/community-standards you're account should be good.

You won't get banned for the number of followers you have. If you believe they are fake/bot accounts, then report and block the accounts using the Xbox reporting feature. Instructions on how to report an account can be found here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/file-a-complaint.

Hi, my name is Annanda, thank you for your question and for reaching out.

You will not get banned unless you did something wrong to get all these followers. If nothing wrong was done, you can rest at ease. This is a known situation and you will not get suspended just because many people/bots started following you.

I hope I was able to answer your questions! Please, if you have any other doubts, we are here to help.

If the reply was helpful, please don’t forget to upvote or accept as an answer, thank you.

Best Regards, Annanda.
