just a post to let everyone know that theres another scam going on...yesterday i recieved a message from a friends profile saying that microsoft were having a promotion,and the message contained a link to a site.I'm always up for a promotion so i had a look,and the site was very basic and the home page explained that microsoft was doing poorly in the gaming sector and that as a reward to XBL users they would be giving away either 12 months gold or 1600 points,all you have to do is give them you're email address,gamertag and password (are alarm bells ringin yet?).
i tried to contact the friend and got no reply then his tag went to the account creation tool,which isn't a good sign.
Please be aware of sites like this that ask you for any details,any true microsoft site wouldnt need to ask because of the windows live id button at the top of every legit microsoft site.Also note that if you do fall for one of these scams,it is an absolute bitch to get you're tag back.
