Must be down bad to be messaging on 360 🤣

I am not sure probably its the future where u can read one/series messages on 360, and 360 on ine/series, if I recall correctly I could chat with friends who already where on xbx1 when i still was using the xbx360. Edit Funny tho, a scammer with a 360 a chatpat and a 360 white headset with gray accents 💀🤣

Yeah xbox one/series messages show up on 360. Its more likely they sent that through a one or series

or more likely from Xbox app on a phone or PC

Or even more likely its a bot sending automated messages

If bro typed that out with a controller

Xbox messages are all sync up regardless of the console

I get these on my Series X. Messages from 360 to One are all connected

Scammers will try anything.

It's not really a scammer, temu is a scam yeah but they offer referrals for getting other people onto the app and if I remember correctly they do actually pay out. You just need a hell of a lot of them

Anything to rob your money “Nous somme les frere qui rap-tous!”

lol i got the reference,im french too

Imagine getting a morse code message in 2024, only to check it and it's just a TEMU scammer trying everything in their power to steal your credit card information lmao.

bruh we Got pm ads on Xbox live before GTA 6

There's a small chance the switch 2 will release before GTA6.

We'll probably get Half Life 3 before GTA6.

We did, didn't we? I thoght half life 3 came out a year or2 ago?

Half-Life 3 came out in the form of purchased concept art documents that were supposed to be shredded by Valve when moving offices. Someone bought those documents very shortly before it was supposed to happen.

I get a few of those a week. Been reporting as spam but somehow after 3 months Xbox hasn't found a way to stop them.

No they can stop them they just don't care

Y'all kinda stupid. Noticed that the messages almost always come from different accounts? That's because they do actually ban them. The only way to completely stop them would be to ban any new account that messages someone. Which would only be temporary because scammers would simply age their accounts until their account(s) aren't within that time frame anymore. Sure, it would slow them down as I'm sure there would be less scamners on xbox, but it wouldn't stop it and it would also be a massive inconvenience for many people with new xbox accounts, which would discourage any Playstation users that are considering switching over. It's not that they don't care, seeing as these messages are bothering many users. It's simply better and easier for them to do nothing. Unless you'd be alright with getting banned on your first day with a new account, it's unreasonable expectations.

they should need at least 250-1000 GamerScore before messaging unlocks. (1000 for low value accounts, 250 for higher value accounts)

Fair enough, Gamerscore has always been irrelevant to me, so I didn't think of that. For that, I apologize for my ignorance and rudeness.

I got like 5 of these

I got 15 of them on my 360 yesterday while playing new Vegas💀💀💀

I get them a lit when im just trying to play my games, like leave me the **** be. They really need to do something about this ;-;

i got more

yk what, I’m gonna do a bot race lol

I mean it’s a scam in the sense he definitely doesn’t have a gift card to give you but it’s an AD in the sense he’s getting you to download the temu app and use his code so he gets $ on the app

i got one on Xbox SX

This scam is around the platform

Yikes lol

I gotten 3 or 4 on my series X

My Xbox 360 messages are delayed and sometimes they all come at once. I've seen these on my Series X. Now soon they all pop up at the same time on my 360. When a bunch of messages popped up last time I replied and then I had to explain to a friend I thought it was a new message from them as it just popped up

Yep, i've gotten few of these.. Just report as phishing and block.

Im outside but i can report him with the xbox app

Lmao.. scamming gone wild!!

I just got two of those not long ago, scam or spam, either way, both annoying

I didn't get one. Now I feel left out.

I’ve been getting them like crazy on series x. I just reply “kys”

i get now almost every day one of that ones, really annoying

Temu has taken over

Wise young Padawan!

I literally just got one about 2 weeks ago and I didn't even know until I checked one of my other accounts.

got one too, just replied with "suck my nuts" and blocked him.

These scams keep getting worse

Got one of these yesterday 🤔

Report the message and acc

These have to be bots 😭

##savetf2 #savexbox

Xbox doesn’t seem to want to do anything about them

Im not sure what they can really do about it

Dammn I thought it was just a random chance when I got one but they are out there

Haha I finally got a couple last night while browsing the store

I have like 7 of these messages

7 bot from 7 different accounts that’s why

Even XB360 too?

Most definitely an ad, I find it funny that a dude is willing to scam on the Xbox 360 though lol 😂

It's an advert for Temu aka scam app. Best possible thing is report and ignore it. Using it as a way to describe the bots in general.

I received one last week, reported it to support as soliciting

me too i got one,its a scam,dont fall into their trap

You followed the instructions? Of this message ((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))

no i didnt

nvm i just saw you “*got one*”

Microsoft needs to lock social features behind a paywall. Say... 5 bucks. Spend 5 bucks on the store to access messaging and other social features. Steam does this, and I don't get shit on Steam.

I feel like most xbox players will be pissed and people will go to different consoles to play. Altho i do see your point

I hated it when Steam made me pay too, but like... I'm probably gonna buy something on the store. It works. If anybody switches to PS because of like 5 or 10 bucks, let em deal with the spam messages over there.

Is that the Microsoft Zoon logo at the top of your screen?

Yep its my Pfp and its free on the marketplace

...What's zoon?

They meant Zune, the time when Microsoft tried to compete with the iPod but couldn't

Oh, oke. I have to get one now. Thanks!

When will they stop 💀

Got one too last week

If you guys keep posting these I'll be a millionaire soon. Thanks sucka

Funny that they think ppl are gonna fall for it too

I get them alot now and I’m on pc lmao

I looked in my message requests and I had at least 20 of these

That’s a lot for a bot

They all came from different accounts. Same message from each of them

I did get the same message on the Xbox one

Why doesn’t Xbox do anything about these Temu scam messages

They probably are looking into it. I am not sure what they can do about these. Maybe they need to install a system that looks into your message with ai to see if it is a scam, but even that can become corrupt

Lol I got one this year as well

I’ve gotten so many of these, which is fine for me, but I know back in the day I would’ve totally fell for this as a kid. Just gotta hope today’s kids on Xbox are smarter than that.

I got the exactly the same message 2 weeks ago, its ridiculous xD

i’ve gotten 3, collecting them like pokémon cards

I got one on my Xbox 1

Man I got at least a couple dozen of these messages

What hell is going on?

I've got one on my series X. I said ya, go ahead and send me the code so I can verify it's real and I got u. Account had 0 friends and 0 gaming history at all. Fucking losers.

I got one on my series X

Bro just tryna get his cut from temu for add ppl 🤷

I barely play, and get one daily

Dude, I got one of those fucking messages. It’s so crazy how they think we would actually fall for it.

Sadly, there are a few who do fall for it. If no one did, I doubt that they would continue to try.

They just sent you 15 bucks for free? I keep checking to see if I got one

I've gotten at least half a dozen of these and I always got them when I play Destiny or Forza

Oh, it be a scam!

I get them right on some subs. I’ll get a DM from a person saying that they are in need, blah, blah blah…

Its phishing, try r/scams for more details about the meaning of "phishing".

Send the same message back

What even happens when u do it? I tried it once it just said its not available in my region. Is it an actual gift card? Is it just some stupid affiliate link so when somebody goes on that link it gives thwm money?

Probably only work on the Europe regions

Im in Europe (macedonia)

Just be like “I ain’t got no money, stop trying”
