    you're about to be locked out of your gamertag for 25 days. seriously. they gave me 2 months free as a repay.

    Also, they change your gamertag logon to some bullshit [email protected] that you can't change.

    Fuck microsoft.

    edit: i still havent gotten my money back. 34 days later. i even reported it to my bank.

    you get 3 free 1 month gamertag per xbox, just use that in the meantime.

    edit: at least you aren't like me and only user your gamertag for GFWL which i was completely locked out of for a month.

    Theres been a shitton of this happening lately. Basically, people from the other side of the world hack your shit, buy a ton of points, spend them all on FIFA 12 crap then sell the account.

    How are they getting your acct info to begin with? I can't imagine how they can access something like your live info through brute force alone...

    Same way hackers got Sony, they go straight to the unprotected source. Or find people who use the same name and password for everything.

    Isnt your xbox live account basically your hotmail account? I might be wrong, but if it is, I can't imagine it would be hard to hack someone's email. Enter your info on a single computer that has a keylogger, browse a shady website while hotmail is open, have a weak security question....

    this shit happened to me too, fucked up thing is that I tuned off the account when I sold my brobox - last year. I'm sure it's my own fault for not wiping the hard drive first though.

    Does the 360 not have an option for you to set another password for when it comes to any transactions involving your credit card like the PS3?

    What's the point in buying stuff for Fifa? Is it tradeable?

    Use a more secure password next time. Hint: If your security question or password contain any real words, you already lost.
