It's sad that MS is just giving the run around and not doing anything helpful. It is probably in part to all the fraudulent hack threats and subsequent calls they get from preteens in Halo and CoD.

Hopefully she can get her money back. Assuming her story is true of course.

Well, it looked like everything turned out great.

I'm a bit confused why they didn't nail this guy to the wall though. I mean, she know who he is. Microsoft should take that info and bust this guy wide open.

There's apparently been a ton more stories than her's from guys and gals alike, and Microsoft isn't really doing anything.:( They used this woman as a posterboard child though, for whatever that's worth(zip!)

I've canceled my Gold sub for the time being. MS was pretty snarky about it, not that I'm surprised- they gave me trouble when I originally started using XBL cards instead of my card way back when over the phone. I can't tell why they want credit card subscriptions so badly that they'd treat existing customers like garbage.

Either way, I'm waiting for them to resolve the issue. Judging from comments on a few prominent websites, this is at least a mid-sized problem and one to watch out for. My best advice for folks it to make sure to have a Gmail-authenticated email associated with Live, and to just watch account activity. MS needs to at least improve the Live site's security somewhat(I was able to change my email without email confirmation!)'s security before sitting there blaming customers. That's all they've been doing in response to this.
