  1. XBOX SCAMS USERS INTO MULTIPLE PURCHASES


    My son asked to purchase a pack for a game (Overwatch). Tried to purchase 1 bundle for $19.99. I put in the passcode and nothing. It goes back to the screen that says BUY. Tried it again and nothing. No confirmation or receipt. Thought it was a credit card
    issue so I changed the card and again it just goes to the BUY screen. Went to my email and saw that I was charged 3 times. How many times has this scam happened. Tried to cancel/return 2 of the 3 purchases and there is absolutely no way of doing so. Microsoft
    does not allow returns/cancellations/refunds of digital purchases. If it was this easy for this to happen I'm going to bet my life that Microsoft scammed millions this way.

    Hey there -

    The Xbox One has the
    Home Console
    system which is designed for families with multiple users/consoles to share games across consoles without needing to purchase the same game multiple times. Making sure that is set up correctly should alleviate many of the issues you're outlining
    regarding sharing games.

    Regarding Destiny and needing to be logged in - Do you own multiple copies of the game digitally or on disc? If it's a digital copy, double check that your purchase for the game went through using the account in question's
    Microsoft Commerce account or the account's

    My Games
    section.

    Let us know if that helps or if you have other questions we can help with. XBOX SCAMS USERS INTO MULTIPLE PURCHASES :)

    I have a young adult son for whom we just purchased an xbox one s. We live in the same home, but I am for all intents and purposes, the admin on our family account. I understand that you need to watch for licensing etc., but I have purchased two complete
    copies of Destiny, one for the old xbox and one for the new xbox one s, and it's still telling him that the person who purchased the item has to be signed in. For a work around, we just leave me signed in all the time, but I think you guys need to rethink
    how this will be handled in the future. I purchase games, my son might purchase the DLC, depending on who is totally hooked on the game at the moment and/or has money in their account. I made absolutely sure that we would own two separate licenses for Destiny,
    since it's a game we would like to play together. For other games, only one of us would play at a time, so just like a book, whomever is using it.

    Thank you for reading my rant. As technology advances, and life situations are changing (more adults living at home, more husbands and wives who enjoy gaming together etc) The companies that provide those technologies will have no choice but to change also.
    I for one don't mind spending the extra for dual licenses, if it means we both get to enjoy it.

    Why is GameStop's store in edge showing as Dallas, TX, when we live in a City in California?

    Your parents have to address amazon as previously mentioned

    They are their own merchant

    Keep in mind buying a bunch of prepaid gift cards could trigger a fraud warning

    It's a popular scam tactic which merchants watch for

    Usually with itunes gift cards

    The reason why they have large gift card purchases flagged is to prevent scams

    Like the IRS SCAM or the various versions like cerb am

    People still fall for it or their son is about to be locked up and they need to pay in iTunes over a not so good connection (yes that'd is still a thing)

    Thousands of victims every year lose millions total

    Best bet do one purchase or space it oiut

    It's never a good idea to make multiple purchases of the same item.

    It could be the merchant watching for scam victims or your creditcard and yes fraud warnings do trigger on multiple same purchases

    And yes victims can be insistant

    Hey there AwareTen, if both of your boys want to be able to play games online then you would need two gold accounts or they could share an account if thats the way you want to go. Another option which may be appropriate for your family situation is to set
    up a family gold subscription. This will allow you to retain parental control, and allow for yourself, and your two boys to have a gold membership at a discounted rate :)

    Here is the page for the FAQ to the family subscription.

    @Nordcron - the OP did not get scammed. He did not order the offer properly. He should have ordered it online from the purchase area. What he did was go and buy a prepaid card and enter the code in from that. This is not a scam. It is the fault of the
    user who did not read the terms of what he was wanting to purchase correctly.
