    Someone else's credit card showing up on my account?


    So, I have a very interesting issue happen to me recently. I went to purchase a game on the Microsoft Store and I noticed someone else's credit card information was the default card on file. My info was still there as well, but not defaulted.

    To make things more interesting, this happens to be a family friend of my in-laws. This person, who we have very good reason to believe does not have malicious intent, had apparently obtained my phone number on a Whitepages.com. They were looking for my mother-in-law's phone number but mine showed up instead. Fast-forward a few hours and I'm attempting to buy a game on Xbox and there is this guy's credit card info on my Xbox and PC.

    It was weird enough to get a random call from someone who should never have known my number, but then later that same day their CC info shows up on my account? How does this happen? Is this a security breach on Microsoft's side? Could my CC information be on someone else's Microsoft account somehow? This has me deeply concerned from the standpoint of a Microsoft customer.

    Does anyone have a similar experience or advice on what to do about this?

    :)

    Someone else's credit card showing up on my account?

    Hello Joe_196, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    How strange can such a problem be?
    Although I don't have direct access to your specific account information, I can offer some possible explanations and suggestions.

    It's important to make sure your own Microsoft account is secure. Change your password immediately and consider enabling two-factor authentication if you haven't already. This will provide an additional layer of security for your account.

    Carefully check the payment options associated with your Microsoft account. Make sure only your own credit cards are registered and set as default. If you find any unknown or suspicious credit cards, delete them immediately.

    Since the credit card information belongs to a friend of your in-laws' family, it would be appropriate to inform them about what has happened. Explain the situation and assure them that you are taking steps to address the problem.

    Remember that the security of your personal and financial data is important.

    Best regards.

    charged twice

    Do you have another Xbox account or someone else in your household has your credit card linked on their Xbox account? Or is there someone else who uses your account to play Fortnite, and they ended up buying Vbucks.

    please let us have achievements remove from hacked accounts

    That explains why fifa shows up on my hacked account. They got hold of my email and via social engineering with support they changed the password and used someone credit card on my account and purchased stuff.

    Someone elses credit card...but my account problem

    When you purchase live through xbox it turns on auto renewal until you turn it off. Thats why the time kept extending. T

    Since the card wwas somehow cancelled they still tried to charge you for your renewal and since they couldnt they have suspended the account unt its paid off. You would have to add another card to pay off the balance so you can get back online.

    Xbox One Account & Console hacked into!!!!!!

    When someone starts making unauthorized charges on a credit card you have on your account it is a possibility that the card information was taken and is being used to make purchases of Xbox content, but if that were the case then the charges would not be
    showing up on your personal account, it would be showing up some where else, that is considered fraud and the approach you took but contacting the card provider and informing them of what is going on is the correct thing to do.

    The only thing that is weird is that if someone was making these purchases and downloads, it would be showing up on that particular console, not yours. Like Tenth said, no one taking your account and card information would do all that and give you what they
    bought, they want it for themselves. If customer support informed you that all the charges were showing up on your account, on that credit card and your account is the only account that your credit card is on, those purchases were made from you console, on
    your account, not anyone else.

    If you want to pursue it further then I suggest contacting customer support again, telling them to check for fraud and unauthorized charges and they can tell what is going on. They may be able to send your case to the customer advocacy team for a more thorough
    investigation and they will be able to tell where the charges came from. They will probably need information from your console like the console ID number and serial number so they can trace if the purchases were made from your personal console or from somewhere
    else like you say. They will be able to ell if your account was stolen and hacked, or if you are the one who really did it and are saying other wise.
