I haven't gotten any messages within the past two weeks so that's good, I was thinking someone posted my gamertag on a forum site and told people to spam it or something up until I messaged my XBL Friends and they said they were getting them too.

I got one of these the other day, reported it. Got a message from XBL saying "Thanks for keeping the community clean". Found it quite different.

Tet Spam on Xbox? how is this news? :D


If you're on xbox one you would understand that the message spam is getting unreal with links to malware sites etc.


Aside from the excitement of you Quoting me,

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't applied filters to messages so you can't post obvious malware.
