Doge Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 A few hours ago I got a message from some guy I guess telling me to go to a site. He clams he got a "gold iphone 6" from some raffle site. Then I get another message probably from the same person. It tells me to enter my email at the site. Anyone else getting this too? I'm not dumb enough to go to the site let alone put my email in. Just wondering cause this is the first time I have actually seen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, this is also the first time I've gotten a message over Xbox Live with spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah it's strange I have never gotten these before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty130 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah it's strange I have never gotten these before. I and another site user both received some of these messages around the same time earlier today. If you're concerned about them, just block the sender.

STILLBORN Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I got a message a few minutes ago from someone named cardmarigold telling me to go to some raffle site. Obviously it's a scam so I reported and blocked him right away. I'm not even sure how this person got my gamertag, because I havn't played an online match of any game in over a month.

Y2Kasper10 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Jesus. It's bad enough with phone, email and Facebook. Now we get them while gaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroutonCrusader Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Unfortunately, it does appear that spammers are going wild on Live. Within the past 2 months I've gotten 5 or 6 messages spouting random non-sense about visiting websites for deals on game keys, FIFA coins, and other garbage. A buddy of mine even got a message about how he's pre-approved to apply for a gamer loan and they provided a website where he could fill out the form. Ugh. Hate spammers.

mcnichoj Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I got two just the past couple days and another last week. I'm guessing a bot scrapes Xbox related sites for GT's an then sends out the messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj6627 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just the ones from the FIFA assholes. I wish I could just take down there site and give all their coins away for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I got a weird message over the weekend by some guy called FickleTrash; he was advertising some gamerloan thing and saying if I need a new Xbox, I can get $300 in 5 minutes. XD It was weird to see that since I haven't gotten a spam message over Xbox Live in several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragarach Luin Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yep, just got another one, which makes it two in as many days, after having never gotten any before. A little concerned if this is going to become a regular thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigress Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I have also received two of these messages. One yesterday and another one just a few minutes ago. Very annoying. Especially since I've been called Sir & Hey Dude.. One message "sup sir iphone.saferaffle.com is raffling off an space gray iphone 6 today. just enter your email and wait. there is around 3 hours left for todays raffle. u need to be quick" from VenomousPrism8719 second one "wasup dude friend me on here. i just got a new Xbox and made a new tag. i joined my email in a raffle safe raffle is running and seriously got a Xbox 1!" From from splaypandora376. I hope this doesn't become a reoccurring norm on Xbox. We are spammed enough in email & phone!!

While spam is annoying the concept of a gamerloan is kind of hillarious Though I wouldn't invest in that idea, I don't see a lot of money there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirge Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I get a lot of the fifa coins scams, so I just usually report the message as a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewie B I ReQ Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I and another site user both received some of these messages around the same time earlier today. If you're concerned about them, just block the sender. yeah me too i got that message about going to the site for free stuf and then another from a different person saying btw im (i forgot his name) from the xba site it was close to the first message so i ignored it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante XBA Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Oddly enough I haven't gotten a single message yet. Unless spam messages are only on Xbox One and can't be read from the 360, as I haven't been on my One in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesir Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Got what looked like a phishing scam attempt msg over XBL the other day, just reported/blocked and moved on. Haven't gotten one of those in years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear.

That is troublesome. It almost makes me wonder if we are being targeted for these by one of the spambot companies that hit the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Kyuss Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Glad to see I'm not the only one who got a gamerloan spam message too. It took me by surprise and I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculously stupid the idea of that "website" is. These messages are definitely the result of some idiot(s) coming here, spamming those links and then sending messages to our gamertags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILLBORN Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Just got another message from a someone named FawnSmile529039, telling me to go to the same raffle site. I'm going to unlink my gamertag from this site, because I'm pretty sure that's where these messages are coming from.
