I thought i would quickly drop a message to all and hopefully this is read by many.
Over the pass couple weeks there have been a few try hard scammer on XBOX, trying to scam people out of M$ points. They may think this is funny and think they can get away with it.
I have been on a mission to find as many as i can, so far know of 2 with proof, And the bad things is, they are BOTH apart of CG one who i see quite often on here and has a little respect which is quit upsetting to see.
Now to these kids here we go, i will try make an example of this one kid, by 2 ways, one of which is dropping to there level and Hacking there account (i dont personally do this i know someone who quite easily can).
Or two, you have have the option to either ring xbox and get them ban, write down the points number before you give it away. Or the one that i perfer and will proberly happen to this kid from last night is GO TO THE COPS. I know what you are thinking cops what the hell are they going to do about it. What you dont know is that these scammer are commiting a serious crime FRAUD which has very high punishment, especially online FRAUD.
So hope that many of you read this and try not to fall for it in the first place, so a little list of how to avoid it.
1. Dont pay till you get ranked up, under what ever they say they have been scammed before and people dont pay, Until the XP boost you dont hand over the number.
2. Half these guys dont even know what JTAGING is, they think it is a modded XBOX by putting a couple of by pass plates in your xbox. JTAG is a HAX, it invole's a xbox which is under a certain serial number, (New xbox's can not be JTAGED yet) then there is a sort of complicated HAX (if you dont really know what you are doing) that can destroy the xbox if not done right. it does involve opening your xbox and doing a bit of modding but that the easy bit.
3. People say that they charge for JTAGING because it cost them money, the only thing it cost them is a new xbox, and you wont get enough M$ point to buy one. So here os what a JTAGER does, he goes online, buys a ring ring xbox, fixes it, making sure that the serial number is correct.
So for all people out there that read this, pass it on to your mates, Dont pay before you get boosted. Plus alot of HAX's will do it for free. it is more for fun for HAX not to make money..
But at the end of the day if you really want to get justice for some little scam (even tho it is like $30) go to the cops or ring xbox, no matter how much it was it is still FRAUD and they will be charged and fined hell of alot more that what it cost you.
This is also suppose to be a community which is positive for gaming, and it is disappointing to see that member of this community are doing this. Maybe something can also be done here, not to sure who has started CG was it BIO ACID, but maybe if people on here get caught (with proof) it could be a life time ban for them.
I also think it is important even if you know them on XBOX, not to let them get away with this, as if it was your little brother who save a months pocket money to XP boost his account and get ripped off you would be pissed off, so i hope that people here have enough respect and maturity to try and stop it happening.
If you took the time to read this Thank you if you are going to flame oh well, but this could stop a mate of brother or someone you know from getting scammed and also getting pay back in a legal way.
