Hi several of my freinds on xbox live told me about this video on youtube with a link to this site --> URL REMOVED <---... and said that it really works that these guys hack the microsoft live feeds to find glitches and found this way to get free points by masking you account as a employee account. You click on the link and read the info and click the mask my account link. It then tales you to the actuall xbox.xom page to log on. You enter you account email address and password and then it promts you to choose how many months of live you want on your employee account then click submit and will get a message sting if it was successful or not and to allow 6-12 hours for the it to take effect. Once your account has been masked you are supose to get a message on your xbox live account on your xbox360 stating congrats on your new job with microsoft. Once you get that you are able to download as many points as you wish but sugest to not due more than 50,000 at a time.
HAs anyone seen this or know anything about it? _________________________________________________________ There are two kinds of people in the world those who 1 binary and those who 0 binary.
I believe this is a scam. Anything offering free points is almost always a way to just get your account info then they change it and sell it. I would not recommend doing it at all. Even if it did work microsoft would find out and probably charge you for the points you used.
Several people online said they did it. How ever they had to actually be looged in to xbox.xom when they did and had to do it 3 or 4 time before it finally worked and then they got the message and where able to get points. But they said id did work, but had to do it several times before it did. _________________________________________________________ There are two kinds of people in the world those who 1 binary and those who 0 binary.
I wouldn't trust it but if you really want to try it no one is stopping you. _________________________________________________________

i wouldnt trust it at all, sounds like a scam, no ones and no system is 100% safe, but ms really have put a lot of effort into security, and if they can check if ur dvd drive is flashed by how many revolutions or something of the disc spinning in the dvd drive im sure theyll be able to track unregistered points being added to your account.

Of course it is a scam... You can not trust sources like that in the internet. No way you cheat the gamerpoints

DO NOT use any website that asks you for your XBOX LIVE username & password.. We here on 360-HQ don't even ask you for it.
Well update Guys. My brother was told by his freinds online that he did it and it worked for him. So we both did it not paying attention to the url in address bar and seeing that the page looked like the official xbox.com login. 2 weeks later neither one of us was able to log in to xbox live on our gamer tags. Then we noticed that both of our bios had been change with some strange signature. He called xbox support and advised him of the points scam and of his account being hacked and they froze his account and advised him they would investigate and anything used on his account would be remeburst. I called as soon a I got home and they froze my as well and advised that they would still be able to get on to the account and play but unable to charge anything to the account or use points. That when they get on they will track who it is each time the y get on. They said that they would get my gamer tag back and compensate me on anything used and time I lose.
So lesson learned and don't try any thing that says free even if it looks legit. _________________________________________________________ There are two kinds of people in the world those who 1 binary and those who 0 binary.

the only way i have ever done anything like that on the net is if someone i personally know and trust has done it themselves. otherwise, i just stray away. at least you didnt get it too bad.
