Hello, since it seems I cannot get in contact with Xbox Support currently I figured I would post here instead in order to make support aware of the situation/issue. The xbox user 'Winter' who also goes by 'F80C' and 'T3D6' attempted to scam me for my gamertag which is 'Summer'. They initially messaged me on the 'F80C' account saying they wanted to warn me of some random users who were going to attempt to falsely report my gamertag to FNC (force name change) it. Basically the goal of that is to false report, have other accounts also falsely report as well to make it more legitimate in an attempt to have my account banned and my gamertag reset so they can then use a gamertag turbo to claim it themselves and sell it for profit. I can provide as much proof as needed for this and any posts at all on this forum that claim I am going around on Call of Duty DDOS'ing users or doing anything malicious at all are completely FALSE. I joined the Marine Corps several years ago and have been mostly inactive on this account and I currently still do not use it much as I'm busy with life in general. As for the Xbox Support/Enforcement team if this gets escalated, all of the messages between myself and 'Winter'/'F80C' should provide you with all the proof you need of this. These are the exact same person and it's just an elaborate scheme to scam people with OG gamertags of their gamertags for profit. I will post some pictures below in the replies of some of the claims and proof.

Hi there Sacred Fire

There isn't a way to "scam users" with this new gamertag system. It's allows more keyboard and personailtion of gamertags and as said the number system is very secure and even discord uses the same system.

I doubt any suggest that somehow violates the terms would be anything but an attempt to scam my account anyways ^^

There is a news story on the BBC newsbeat website about the latest security issue http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/15837971

Of course, it's a phishing scam, no hacking involved what so ever. This isn't even new. When I last cleared my junk mail folder I found a number of similar scams, mostly concerning banking phishing attempts. I never click on them. The weakist link in Live
isn't the service, it's the user.
