Someone Is Impersonating me

austinkannai · Jul 7, 2020

Someone has created the account [mod removed]. This is really suspicious as my name is generally unique, not to mention he is adding my friends and he added me as well. I do not want this as he could be using my name to for nefarious purposes and I do
not want to be banned from the games I play because of this person. What steps can I take to keep this person from damaging my name/rep?

Report & block the person via your console.Set communications to friends only if need be.

Someone having a similar gamertag or the same avatar/gamerpic as you is not against the rules.

If they are harassing you online then that is against the rules.

As mentioned,it takes time for the enforcement team do investigate a report as they get thousands every day,all of which need to be investigated.

Hi,

There has been a lot of that. Even for me (Getting added by random accounts). First thing, is to contact Xbox Support & Take screen shots of that account as well. Keep tabs on it and perhaps it can be removed by Xbox Support if the account is harassing you
and trying to pretend to be you.

Best,

Philip

You can go to the offending profile on your Xbox and report the gamertag. There will be an option to add comments when you file the report.

I have done that already, but still every day he is Following me, harassing me by making other new accounts to send me messages that usually involve a message like this "Where is the Ban at ? Everyone is laughing at you because you lost this fight" i get
it every day from a newly made account.. this Needs to stop! Even his GamerPic is EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE!

Report each message, block and do NOT respond. Responding will remove the block.

The XBLPET has to have time to do their investigation.
