When we phoned we were told someone had told them to lock the account and they were the ones who had paid for the subscription and not us. I told them we have the proof of payment but they did not want to know. Their support is a joke. We had to phone 4 times and hang on for 1 hour each time and only spoke to the supervisor after the fourth time. Even then they will not refund money or replace subscription.

He cant get any information about from xbox support either until I am with him when he calls up - as I am the credit card holder. I didn't realise there were so many security threats with using a credit card as I always use it on the net when buying things. I'm feeling rather worried :( the fact that it was 'cancelled' rather than taken over - is that a good sign that we will be able to fix it? X-box really needs to increase their security measures! It costs enough to buy the damn X-box console, games and membership that ultimate security measures should already be firmly set in place! <BR/>And fyi - this happened for no good reason to my bf!

I am the only one who has ever touched my console and I never gave my details to anyone. They CAN access your account ( they being hackers) and they CAN see your personal information, IE address name phone number. They CANNOT see your credit card numbers. If you do see this happening to you be aware that xbox live support WILL NOT help you, they WILL NOT issue you a redeem code NOR will they refund your moneys lost. TRUE STORY. I advise everyone who wants subscription to buy prepaid cards at your local best buy and do not enter your personal details in your account. Accounts can be tampered with and can cost you hundreds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798604115389836864.post-231942637089243512008-09-17T18:49:00.000+01:002008-09-17T18:49:00.000+01:00my xbox live account was hacked from some guy..
