    I was contacted today by someone claiming to be from Microsoft via 3 different gamer tags, they ask to speak to an adult to verify your account.

    I have checked with Microsoft directly and this is a scam so please beaware of the following gamer tags

    [mod removed]

    All have been reported to Microsoft they are also on Halo Reach & Halo 4

    We have been told that no one will contact you via your XBox Live account they will call or email you, if anyone has accepted frienod requests from these gamers you would be wise to change your account passcode.

    :)

    Please do not name and shame Connor4429 And irGenocideZ

    You are not allowed to call out gamer-tags on the Xbox.com forums.

    You will have to file a complaint via your console & it will be investigated by the
    enforcement team. The only way to report someone is using the
    tools on your console
    . You Can File a complaint against another Xbox Live players Then
    Mute, block, or avoid other players on Xbox Live And Submit a player review.

  6. [mod removed] tried scamming my son by offering to trade his 99 Golden Ticket Odell Beckham Jr for three of my son's high 90s players in Madden 15. Basically, it's a bait and switch: trade a high 90s player for one of his low cards, then
    trade a second high 90s player for another low card, with the promise that he would then trade his Beckham Jr card for a third and final high 90s card. My son told him that the deal wasn't good for him and that he should just sell it for 1.1 Million, but he
    said he likes the fun of trading more than buying. My son said he would make the trade but required to get the Beckham Jr card first to avoid being scammed. Of course
    [mod removed] declined. I then went online and found dozens of posts where
    [mod removed] has scammed people and stolen money from them. 1. Why is this person allowed to still have an active account? 2. Why doesn't XBOX create a secure system for trades so scammers don't have free access to scam children (and adults)?
    It shouldn't be too hard to create a lock box trading system that ensures everyone gets what they bargained for.

    ^^ Trying to trade what with? Cards? You're in the Minecraft forum.

    I should also point out to the previous posters in this thread, it is against forum rules to "name & shame".

    Correct, I've removed the names from the forum and doesn't mean they're not scamming but reporting them publicly here isn't allowed, basically because they could potentially just come here and say untrue things like you guys scammed them. Then it's a big
    he said she said and flame war and so on.

    You can post the tactics the used by people to scam without naming them to warn the community and hopefully educate the developers of the game to the exploits within their games. If you want to report someone for playing unfairly or being deceptive you
    can check out this link and it'll explain how to go about it depending on your situation.

    I want complain about the unethical use of account suspension

    Wait, hold on. You telling me it's against the guidelines of Xbox of a player warning and help the prevention of a scammer that is trying get $100 out of players. Surely you do have guidelines that help prevent scammers to ensure safety of players. So I helped enforce your guidelines against scammers when I helped make a post to bring awareness and prevention to fellow gamers of a scammer. Yet I got punished for that?

    I did not insult with slang, harassed, or even use aggression. I called them out to the public to bring awareness of the potential harm that could happen to them. If I am to be punished for helping my fellow gamers, then who are you protecting. The community or the scammer?
