    Someone else using my account?


    I'm not sure how this is possible but I got on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare after lunch today and I had two supply drops and the one shot goggles which I know I didn't earn. I checked my last couple matches stats and the last two said K/D: 0.3. I'm not
    a very good player but I'm not that terrible. I assumed someone else must have been on my account, but upon researching this I learned that you get prompts if you've been logged into a different console. I have a friend who uses my account but only for Call
    of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer on the 360 and possibly MTV or something with dirt bikes and he doesn't have the password. So that means it must have been on my console except that it would have to have happened between last night and this afternoon. My console
    is in my room where I sleep and I haven't left the house since before last night. Perhaps someone snuck into my room and turned the volume off to play a match. That would explain the horrible K/D, but the goggles? Shotgun? IDK what the hell just happened.

    :)

  2. Someone Else Using My Email?

    I made an account. tried to link it with my xbox but someone was already using my email. it because you have to have an email to create an account but you don't have to have a password for the account. and some people already have an old gamer tag linked
    to there email so.. they type in random email addresses until they find someone's account. this has been happening for years. I don't know how it hasn't been fixed

    First off, you are breaking the rules when you allow anybody to use your account, and taking a chance that they might do something wrong while they use it. I would suggest that you do not allow your friend to use your account any longer, and if you feel
    that your account may have been logged in somewhere else I suggest you change your login details. You can take this as far as opening an unauthorized access investigation, all you have to do is call support at 1-800-4my-xbox for the US and Canada. Your account
    will be frozen during the investigation.

    If they didn't want other people to use your account why did the put a family option in and why can you sign in guests as blank(1) etc. Not that would argue if you're not supposed to. I merely assumed you could. But I guess what I was really asking is it
    possible for someone to log in on anther console without a prompt on mine?

    From the Code of Conduct: Do not lend, transfer, sell, or otherwise provide access to your account. I believe you would receive a prompt if you were on your own console when they tried to log on, or it would tell you it was logged in somewhere else when
    you tried to log on.

    The family option is available to allow other profiles on your console to access content you've downloaded. You don't have to let them use your account to access that content. As Outsider said, letting someone else use your account violates the code of conduct.

    Thanks for the insight apparently Xbox uses security as an excuse to make everyone pay for gold and help track their individual purchasing patterns. That does make sense I guess. In light of this and the fact that it turns out my friend was on Advanced Warfare
    messing my K/D up I have barred access to my account. Also WARNING: The 360 does not acknowledge the fact that you are or were logged in on the One and the other way around. Something Microsoft should look into. Thanks again.

    Unauthorized Access claims are usually to regain access to an account that someone else has seized control of. Since you can still log into your account, I would recommend following Smwutches' advice and change your password immediately. Then go to
    www.xbox.com/account, and look under Settings & Preferences for a link called "Xbox 360 Profile Protection". Click the button that says "Require Profile Download", which will disable your profile on
    all consoles everywhere. The only way to sign back into your account is to redownload your profile with your email and whatever new password you made up. Also make sure all emails attached to your account are secure, perhaps changing the password on those
    just to be safe. If there have been any fraudulent charges made, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute them.

    Hey there, SoundedTitan03

    Welcome to the Xbox community forums

    Please could you create a new thread, detailing what your problem is and what you have done to try and resolve it. This way, you can benefit more from the Xbox Live community forums in regards to your problem.

    I am a bit puzzled on what that error message was exactly, as I have tried looking for that number, and could not find it anywhere. I am hoping Microsoft can get back to me with an email, with more information in regards to the phone number you have given.

    Regards,
