someone sent me 42 thousand followers (bots)

Hi Y96X. Sorry to hear about what happened.

If you have already secured your account, there's nothing to worry about it. It's not like they have access to your account when adding followers of bots to your account. We cannot really prevent someone from following our profile. I believe that the Enforcement team takes a lot into consideration before giving an enforcement action to an account. Of course they have to see every angle of the incident and look for evidence to verify every details. So long as you didn't do anything against the Xbox Community Standards, it should be fine.

The enforcement team cannot remove the followers, but they can ban each account, but you have to report them first. Also, it doesn't matter how many reports that are sent about your profile. If you have done nothing wrong, then you will not get suspended or banned.

No they are not actual Developers. I have random people on my friends list that has "Dev" or "Developer" along with another word or numbers in their Gamertag. They are likely bots. There is a big problem with tens of thousands of bots being created for
websites you can go to, to "buy followers". People go to these sites and pay money to people to buy followers, and it is these bots that they "buy" to follow them. Many bots are made just to follow people for a follower number, through these websites. It's
either that or someone just doing something strange and creating multiple accounts, maybe for game boosting etc.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

To my knowledge, the enforcement team takes a lot into consideration before issuing a ban of that nature. If sincerely you've not done anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.
