    So there are these people I think who create brand new Microsoft accounts and they start to go to people's accounts and they'll spam follow them for weeks. But when I see their profile they have 0 gamerscore, 4000, followers and no friends. Some of them
    I've reported, and some of them I've blocked. Eventually, I had to turn off new follower notification banners. But it still told me new followers in the notification tab. Sometimes I'll message them WITH NO PROFANITY saying that I'm not toying with you and
    that you'll get banned for doing this again. They stopped. But that didn't stop the others. I get the same people every day. And there's multiple of them. Such as "Loyal Friends" 19 friends, 4237 followers, and 6855 gamerscore. This guy has been spamming me
    since day one. So afterward, I decided that I figured out how they were finding me. I think it's the apex legends club where people post daily. So I decided to post saying "Do you guys get spam followed by brand new accounts?" I got multiple yes's and one
    of them said

    "I checked their accounts and they follow 2 million people a second (No joke)" I knew he wasn't kidding. Because it shows up in the spammer's history. So I can't help but get aggravated when I see these people. So my question is: can you guys make it to where
    if you add them as a friend, they can too. whereas if they try to add YOU as a friend FIRST, they can't.

    Removing spam followers

    Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

    You can block & report each one, or leave them. It won't affect your account. You can also update your password and use 2-step verification to further protect your account from being hacked.

    I hope this helps resolve your query.

    Spam/ follow bots

    Hi Jakob!

    Unfortunately, we cannot control who's going to follow us. That's fine because it's like they're trying to add you as friend - as long as you don't accept or add them back, they cannot be part of your friend's list.

    You may instead change or edit your privacy settings to control how you communicate or share your account information online.

    Followers Spammed on Xbox Profile

    Hi, I'm , an Independent advisor and I can surely help you.

    Don't worry we will work on this together. Rest assured that your account won't be suspended if you didn't violate the code of conduct. I would recommend to report the player who threatened to do this to you too. Our Enforcement team will take actions to the players that violated the Terms of Service.

    Followers Spammed on Xbox Profile

    Hi there Dericka,

    Thank you for your response, unfortunately it's almost impossible for me to identify which specific player did this. The first two messages were from [mod removed] and [mod removed] but these are also spam accounts.

    Is it possible to recommend that the Enforcement Team look into these spam accounts, and their associated login credentials to remove them from our online community?

    Thank you again,

    Ally

    Unable To Remove A Follower On XBOX One

    I have the same problem. I have a follower, who was spamming and whom I reported for it. I blocked him/her and they're still a follower. The account has zero gamer score and is following over 200 players. It's obvious they spammed everyone they followed.
