There have been a few reports of members receiving phishing emails both in the UK and the US.

If you receive an email like this:

Subject: Changes To Your Xbox Live Account

From: Xbox Support [support@passport.xbox.com]

Email body:

"Dear Xbox Live User,

We have made many changes to everyone’s Xbox Live account, and we would like you to check out the new features! You can check out the new features by click on the link below to login and check them out!

Please check out your new features to your Xbox Live account!

https://www.xbox.com/signin/"

The actual link ( which URL includes the words 110mb and can be seen if you hover over it ) goes to a phishing replication of the Passport login page and will log all your logins and passwords. So do not click on the link or fill in your detail if you receive this email.

These people that produce these emails and phishing duplicate sites are idiots.

Do not fall for this as they will then have full access to your Passport account.

This is why learning grammar and the such in school can pay off, especially with important things like bank scams.
