    Cheesy that is because they are setting up new bogus accounts. Think of them like currency sellers in an MMORPG. All you can do is report/block them. It is up to the people at MS to take action. I deal with this kind of stuff in Final Fantasy XIV all
    the time.

    There's obviously a hole in MS' XBL security that needs to be patched up.

    I'm betting they're closing these accounts with every report and, hopefully, taking steps to close down the website that's offering the scam as well. According to a friend of mine, the people behind this will likely face federal charges for this since they
    are attempting to steal personal information from individuals as well as a company for their own gain.

    I've had about a dozen FIFA spam messages in the last couple weeks and I don't even play it.

    All from different silver accounts.

    I got two voice messages on Xbox 360 from another kid who did mass M2AF and recent players. I Blocked Communications on him.

    It's only going to get worse around April. April Fools. "It's Microsoft's birthday, pass it on and you can win....". I fell for it 2 or 3 years ago since I only joined Xbox late 2010 and didn't know when their BDay actually was until I did a little research,
    k we don't study when Microsoft's BDay is in school. One of my friends she got 60 "it's Microsoft's BDay" in 2013. Some older person said S Up kids it's not Microsoft's birthday. You can change communications to friends only. But don't feel like doing this
    (at least not now). If I'm not in a really happy mood, I'll block.

    If it's a non-friend and he/she kept spamming you, especially with insults harass etc, it deserves more than a Block, it deserves a File Complaint, or Report. As for your account, it should be safe. Microsoft goes to great lengths to keep XBL secure. There's
    also security proofs too. Microsoft sends a code to your phone which you have to enter in and they have to know you email and password. But if changing your password (and email aliase) makes you feel easier, then go for it. Microsoft officially now calls members
    who don't have Gold, Free, Xbox Live Gold, and Xbox Live Free. Though peps who have been with Xbox for a long time tend to call it Silver.
