You're using a credit card huh? This is why I like going to the store and buying me some MS Points card instead of using credit cards.

no. its a debit card. ie: you have to have money in your account.

you know... I usually make fun of people who are that dumb... but I will say this, I opened one of the sites just to see what it looks like, they have it set up to look EXACTLY like an MSN login and everything. If you get scammed on this it's really your own fault, but they do look pretty impressive.mfp16

Im usually in the same boat as you. I have been around the Internet like the town bike since i was 13-14 and usually pick this sort of stuff. but yeah. my fault

That sucks man, I guess you learned a lesson to never give out personal info.metocman1

Thanks.

See thats another thing though aswell. It was an old email adress that i never use anyway, i just forgot it was linked to my xbox as sign-in info and from that they got card numbers and so on. I thought i was just signing into the xbox site :(

are you the guy who put he's 360 in the freezer? lol.

I'm only posting so other people WONT be as stupid as me. I should have known what i was doing.. but it looked like an official ms website and it was sent by a close friend< who's account was also tampered with.

Ok im not sure if anyone has posted this already but i though i would warn everyone.

I recently got a msg from a friend on xbox live telling me to visit a link for 800 free ms points.. stupidly, i did. It looked like an official xbox website with a place to put in your email and password for xbox.. stupidly again, i did. After that it reverted me to the official xbox website. Thinking nothing of it i went on playing (never got the 800 ms points)

And today i found 4 transaction taken from my account by Microsoft for $82.50 Australian dollars. I rang Microsoft who are now "looking into the matter" and of-course, cancelled my debit cards at my bank who are also "looking into the matter"

The only thing i feel now is utterly stupid. So before anyone else gets done like me i am posting this.

If you receive a msg from ANY of your friends about free ms points. DO NOT ACCEPT!

joke thread right?

Wide-screen OFCOURSE!! lol so much better

I went from a 17" to a 22"WS and its so much better. specially if you do any design or editing (timelines are heapppps bigger) and movies don't get cropped either.

Do what i done 22" wide lcd as my main and then i have the old 17" lcd as my second dual monitor :)
