Receiving Spam on Xbox One Messages

LLoydizle · Jan 28, 2015

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the correct place to add this, but here it goes.

Lately, I have been receiving a lot of spam messages on my Xbox One account. It normally asks me to go on a site (Which i will not add here) and do a raffle of some sort.

Out of paranoia, I changed my password on my account, but I am wondering if everyone else has received this and is this something I should be worried about?

Cool....now we get spam messages on Live

We never used to get spam because that feature used to require an Xbox Live Gold subscription. I have received a few spam messages in the past few days so I reported them as unsporting behavior or something like that and described that they were spam in the comments box.

Spam messages

^^That's weird, I was in a party last night with 2 forum regulars and one of them was not receiving spam messages.

LLoydizle hey there

These accounts are causing a bit of a stir with many users but it's absolutely nothing to worry about. These are spam accounts and they are totally non invasive. That doesn't excuse the inconvenience but the best way to deal with this is the same way you
would deal with any other account that breaches the 'Code of Conduct' / 'Terms of Use', which is to report them and block communications. You can do this via their profile pages.

Of course you will also want to make sure that you do not visit any of the sites they try to lure you into. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks,

Cloud

Thank goodness no text messages are ever spam! I've never heard such
stupid excuses for why people don't want voice messages. People who don't want voice messages because they claim they're spam should be crying for the removal of
all messages. I can't think of one time I ever received a spam voice message, but then again, I'm not really into the COD's and games that attract that crowd. Anyone receiving spam might wanna look at the games they play.

Reporting spam messages is a good one although funnily enough I've not received any offers on fifa coins in a while!!

OK Fowl

In this case, we hope you can report the user with the steps here
