    Why has my account name changed ?


    Hi I was strigoi1958 when I just had a pc and bought windows games before my account was accessed. Now I do have an xbox (only for kinnect games and never online). But as I was playing AC4 on my pc and it gives points to link accounts I thought I'd sign
    back in and link up and get my points but after so long away I couldn't remember my password so I reset it but when I logged in I found this user name... have I accidently linked to a different account or has all my account details gone ?

    :)

  2. Gamertag name change

    Hello,

    My name is Vagine Prabjhot and I just changed my Xbox LIVE account name yesterday. I believe my name has been reported and my account name now changed. I just paid $9.99CAD + tax. Why my account name has been changed is unknown to me. I did not read in
    the Xbox LIVE rules that you can not use your name in your gamertag.

    Thank you for your time,

    Vagine P.

  3. why was my account name changed?

    So someone complain about my gamertag why it was my mothers maiden name and it was changed to a random name? And now it wants me to pay to change it. I'm not sure how thats legal to say I can not use a family members name. I'd appreciate if I could get some
    answers about it and how to Chang it back.

    well I remembered my password but it is still linked to my old email address... but the new email address is linked to the BeastlierBeef5 account ? My new email account was put in via my xbox so maybe that's where the problem lies. I now seem to have
    2 accounts. This one with the wrong email address... and the one above with my current email address but no links to my games or achievements....

    My apologies for starting a new post -- not familiar with this forum. See related issue under "My Gamertag has changed too...." -- I meant to add my input here, but I 'posted' when I should have 'replied'. Here's what I had to say:

    "I, too, am experiencing the exact same problem. My account appears to be the same as when I last left it (I've been playing under a different avatar without a live sign-in), but I purchased a new tablet and when I went to sign-in to the 'games' app, my
    gamertag wasn't my own and I've been trying to correct this ever since. I've done everything from blocking ANYthing under Security to using that crazy extra four-digit security add-on to my sign-in to even trying to change my "one-time" allowed gamertag to
    my original gamertag but yes, I was also informed that this gamertag was 'already in use' -- well yeah, by ME!

    So how does one go about removing a highjacked gamertag and should I be concerned that my brand new tablet possibly has a virus already right out of the box? I'm not very experienced in the whole "gamer" thing -- no offense -- but my brother does have me
    addicted to Skyrim and now I am hopelessly 'hooked'. How do I assure him that he, too, hasn't lost control of his console?!? At the moment, it appears that all of my 'fussing' now has me coming up first on the screen rather than what used to be all of our
    avatars (before you sign-in or not but getting to chose which avatar is utilized) AND it's in 'offline' mode. What??? Very, VERY confused................"
