Random suspicious messages from dummy accounts.

rew980980 · May 3, 2019

Currently I have received 4 random messages, 2 of which contained the exact same content from dummy accounts.

All contained claims of paying a free game such as warframe or fortnight but non had any games downloaded or any game score. These seem like suspicious accounts and an odd one wouldn't be a concern but 4 within 4 days, 3 of which in a couple hours seems
awfully strange.

Example messages as follows;

All have asked for my age, and have either started with "sooo you busy?" or "hello there".

Later convocation has also contained; "i got ure name from the friend search here on this xbox app cuz I was bored and lookin for new people to talk to. "

This has also lead to messages such as "I was actually getting to my "job" here shorty. my one friend was working online and I kept asking her about it so she showed me what she was doing when we got back to school last fall //(New
message)// i thought she was crazy at first haha, but its pretty cool actually. we work online doing private webcam shows which sounded super nuts at first trust me. but i freaking luv it!!!"

Does anyone have a similar issue with this?

Are Microsoft aware and are they doing anything about this as this seams like an automated response message ?

Xbox can only take action if you file a report for each account in detail. After you filed the report, block all communications with the accounts.

Nothing that we can do. Just report/block and move on to more interesting undertakings. They will get a handle on it soon enough.

Hi all,

Thanks for the responses. I have already reported the messages and accounts as suspicious and have advised my gaming community to do the same.

Just wanted to make this a known issue, and that this wasn't a "targeted" attack on our community of users.

I hope you enjoy your evening.

Many thanks,
