    Microsoft link scam


    I fell for the microsoft link scam, thankfully I don't have any payment options saved on my Xbox so they can not use my money, but is there any other way they can hurt me like locking me out of my account? Also how do I lock them out of my account?

    :)

    Microsoft link scam

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    If you have fallen for a scam and provided your personal information or login credentials, it's important to take steps to protect yourself and your accounts. There are a few things you can do to help secure your Xbox account:

    1. Change your password: If you provided your login credentials to a scammer, you should change your password as soon as possible to prevent them from accessing your account.

    2. Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring you to enter a code sent to your phone or email in addition to your password when you sign in.

    3. Lastly, be cautious when clicking links: Don't click on links or enter your personal information on websites that you don't trust. If you receive a link from someone you don't know, be wary of clicking on it.

    I hope this helps!

    "regarding your report of a account takeover"

    Well, both links provided are from official Microsoft websites (live.com, outlook.com), so I believe there's no way this can be a scam.

    If links were from unofficial websites, it would be a scam for sure. But as official Microsoft websites, they're legit. You can trust. *

    [quote user="ShiningSquirrel"]I think Microsoft would be very unhappy to hear you calling bing.com a "known scam site".[/quote]If you look at the name of the person I was quoting, their post has been removed.

    That person was not posting a link to Bing but rather a notorious scam site.

    Microsoft imposters..

    Businesses like Microsoft operate in sections, writing to one does not mean you'll be able to contact someone in another. Which part of Microsoft management do you think that form goes to? Xbox Management, Windows management, Office Management etc

    There is no point in reporting to 'Management' if the problem is for another department. Sure they might pass it on to the correct people but that is by no means a sure thing.

    If you have encountered scams, obscene material, aggressive behavior, theft of your account or identity, or other similar incidents while using Microsoft services, here is how to report it. We will take your report very seriously, investigate accordingly,
    and take appropriate action.
    A direct quote from the page you link to. Yes it refers to scams but these are scams taking place on a Microsoft service, no the scams pretending to be them over the phone.

    The proper way to do it is to report is from the info I linked to.
