    Removing spam followers


    A while back I had an incident where somebody tried to hack my account after spamming me with followers. It’s been a while since then and although I secured my account, I still get a random boy following me every so often. Can I remove these? There’s no reason I should have over 1000 followers and friend requests I have to individually go through to find people who wanted to add me a while back.

    :)

    Removing spam followers

    Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

    You can block & report each one, or leave them. It won't affect your account. You can also update your password and use 2-step verification to further protect your account from being hacked.

    I hope this helps resolve your query.

    Spam/ follow bots

    Hi Jakob!

    Unfortunately, we cannot control who's going to follow us. That's fine because it's like they're trying to add you as friend - as long as you don't accept or add them back, they cannot be part of your friend's list.

    You may instead change or edit your privacy settings to control how you communicate or share your account information online.

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy.

    Followers Spammed on Xbox Profile

    Hi, I'm , an Independent advisor and I can surely help you.

    Don't worry we will work on this together. Rest assured that your account won't be suspended if you didn't violate the code of conduct. I would recommend to report the player who threatened to do this to you too. Our Enforcement team will take actions to the players that violated the Terms of Service.

    Followers Spammed on Xbox Profile

    Hi there Dericka,

    Thank you for your response, unfortunately it's almost impossible for me to identify which specific player did this. The first two messages were from [mod removed] and [mod removed] but these are also spam accounts.

    Is it possible to recommend that the Enforcement Team look into these spam accounts, and their associated login credentials to remove them from our online community?

    Thank you again,

    Ally

    Removing Followers

    All I can say is I've got people on my "followers" list that I've blocked for 5 years and they still show up as followers. I've never found anyone in last 5 years who can actually solve this glitch. Good luck!
