Microsoft has labeled me a "cheater"

Sorry to hear 'bout that, hmmm...

Why dont you make another one, since you have 0gs i don't see why not, and you won't be labelled a cheater :D

hope i helped!

Do you have any idea how difficult it would be to "hack" an account? I dont wanna sound like a jerk but maybe you did use that cheat to up your gamerscore and you are mad that you got caught. I dont know, maybe you did, maybe you didnt.

Wow, that's stupid. Microsoft never uses common sense in situations like this. Although one time me and my friend was playing GTA4 Party Mode, and this one guy got mad because me shot down his helicopter too mnay times. Then like 4 hours later were playing CoD WaW and he starts saying credit card numbers,addresses,Myspace URLs, and all that personal stuff. He said he could get us banned for like, witch I kind of doubt. But at least it's possible to be hacked.

well for the haters, i can't earn the achievements ive unlocked before back. meaning, since all my games had full achievements from the hacker, i can't unlock em now, only future ones. And yes, i do care about achievements, i had 13,000 and i probably averaged 200 per game which isn't a lot at all, but it does give me a sense of accomplishment cuz i like to game. anyway, it is what it is and there's nothing i can do.

[QUOTE="MaddenBowler10"]

F u microsoft, f u. I worked so hard to get those 13,000 on the effin dot.

nethernova

Hehe. For real.

And I dont get how you lose a sense of accomplishment? Just cuz there isn't something that others can see saying you accomplished something shouldn't matter. You still know what you've done. Its not like losing acheivements takes away in-game items or something like that. The sense of accomplishment should still be there.

I think you(Madden) just care what others will think of you with a low gamerscore, and I'm telling you they wont care. A high gamerscore impresses no one. Its just a representation of how much time you've wasted playing video games.

I can't believe Microsoft would do that! wow :(

They cant give the benefit of doubt to everyone.

Microsoft was just doing their job.

That sucks dude. I only have like 4000g, and I'd get pissed if I lost THAT. I don't spend that much time, but that's hours and days and weeks of my life wasted. I can't imagine having 13,000 and losing it.

Microsoft should be slapped for so many reasons. i stupidy bought the 60gb hdd and now have to spend more money on a memory card to transfer because even if i were to get my hands on a data transfer cable, i would have to be online to verify my identity..... and i have dial-up :P:P

Fail, microsoft....fail

Sounds as if it's your fault...

so my gamertag was hacked like 2 months ago and i have no idea how. I called microsoft over and over again to get it recovered and they eventually did. When i recovered it for the first time on my xbox, i realized my gamerscore went from 13,000 to 70,000+ . I did not do this, the hacker obviously did. Now, a month since Ive had it recovered, i just saw my gamerscore reset to Zero. Now, i understand if they put it back down to 13,000, but to zero!?!?! I mean, do they not know they are the ones who recovered it!?!?! WTF? Also, now im labeled as a "cheater" on my gamertag, and can't get the achievments on my previous games back.************* I worked so hard to get those 13,000 on the effin dot.

MaddenBowler10

It's completely your fault

The second your gamertag was compromised you should have called Microsoft and the second you got it back you should have gone over it with a fine tooth comb and made sure everything was in order.

The second you saw that your gamerscore was higher it was YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to contact Microsoft and report the changes

Instead you did the opposite, you just sat on it and allowed that score to represent you

You have no one to blame but yourself

Nope

Just know the difference between right and wrong

This isn't even something that people should have to read up on

Did you have something that was not yours? YES

Then you're in the wrong and you deserve whatever the punishment is

You should be able to work this out, however good luck finding someone decent to explain it all to when you call Microsoft.

Oh no - 0 gamerscore. Your life is ruined.KHAndAnime

It's the account being labeled as a cheater that I think he is most upset about, so stop being a jerk.

I don't understand how people fall for crap like that. If I ever get messages or friend requests from anyone I personally don't know IRL, I deny it and/or block the user who sent it. I don't put my info in anything that isn't the microsoft website, no third party sites or any of that crap.

I like how they say this:

Web site --- "Know what happened to your gamer score?"

Gamertag owner --- "No I dont, what happened?"

Website --- "You were caught cheating"

Customer --- "WHAT?"

Website --- "Click here if you want more info."

They make it sound like you won a prize. :lol:

Everything I've went through with my account, from it being hacked, to dealing with the microsoft customer service, then to having to create an alt account and not having the ability to play all 300 of my rock band downloads or other DLC off xbox live for a month, then for them to recover it and eventually take everything earned away from me, is not what I wanted to happen. The whole thing about you making me look "guilty" of everything that has happened to my account, is asinine. I shouldn't have gone through this, it wasn't my fault my account was hacked, i guarantee you that, and then apparently it was my "fault" i didn't report my high gamerscore to xbox when i was not fully aware of Microsoft being able to take that all away from me.MaddenBowler10

It's your job to take care of your gamertag

As soon as you found out it was compromised you contact Microsoft and the second you see an irregularity in your gamertag when you get it back you contact Microsoft

You refused to do that and therefore you were punished as Microsoft sees fit

Microsoft expects it's customers to be responsible with their gamertags, you chose not to and now you will forever be labeled accordingly

if you look at my gamerscore..i guess about all my games...MaddenBowler10

In my opinion MS should take away the Cheater label they have put on your profile...... "Instead it should read: I'm the moron that gave away my account information to a 3rd party. Luckily for me, MS took pity on me."

But whatever...........

I wouldn't be surprised if you were one of the people that tried to send your account information to one of those Hotmail email accounts because you thought you could hack someone else's account, haha. What comes around goes around.

And don't go telling people someone "hacked" your account. Your Live account cannot be hacked, but rather phished. You obviously gave your information away, whether it was intentionally or accidently, it still remains your own fault. Now man/women up!

Usually when people say there gamer tag was "hacked" it's cause they gave someone thier password to rank them or something. Nobody sits around and hacks gamertags.

@Letmekilluplz

I was thinking the same thing, "at least someone has some sense in this board", when I began reading your post below mine. HAHA. Then I realized you quoted me. I thought that was hilarious.

I say just make a whole new gamertag. I'm looking at your card in your sig and it just looks weird with a GS of 60 but all those completed games. I'm really sorry to hear about that, it's stupid. If something like that happened to me (which actually something similar did) I'd freak out. My gamertag was hacked and $80 was spent on it, but I recovered it, and got the money back, thanks to the credit card company, not Microsoft.zeppelin_64

Not only that in a thread about people boasting about 1000 gamerscore in games, he's in there posting like he did it, when he has admitted to only getting around 300 or a little bit more in most of his games.

TC, you might have had your account stolen but you failed on reporting your extra gamerscore and then you flaunt it around. Think what if youhad mentioned it to MS when they got your account back. You would probably be okay right now.

Microsoft honestly don't care about you, or anyone. You have a small chance this will get resolved. I hope you do though, because it's completely pathetic what they didRobboElRobbo

Wha?

He was the one who did something wrong, did you not read all of it?

sucks to b u

Well, I'm not trying to be mean about it, but you only have yourself to blame. I don't understand how people get there gamertags "hacked". I guard my email and password that is associated with my gamertag as if it was my credit card # or social security #. I have too much time and money invested in my xbox live account, to let some douche steal my gamertag. I suggest you change your password like every 30 days.
