X box live

[ummmm]

This is a mail I got earlier...

I just wanted your opinion on this because it's got me really confused.......I recently had my credit card bill which showed eight transactions to x-box live adding up to around £150. I was shocked at this and queried it as Atlanta's x-box membership ran out in Jan and she hasn't been on there since.

They told me that the transactions were for points on a fifa game which we don't even own...........

The reason I'm asking for your opinion is because I know XXX is the only person who I am aware knew Atlanta's log in details for the x-box and has the game in question so I wondered if you could ask him whether he has used her account? Please don't get me wrong I am not accusing him but wanted to let you know what was happening as the games company, EA are doing an investigation to trace the console the points were bought from so if it was XXX there may be repercussions on him.

**Is it that easy to use someones account? I thought you had to put the card details in?

[ummmm]

Not as far as I know....

that reads a bit confusing, do you know the person who has emailed you ummmm or is it a scam mail trying to get details from you?

[dotty.]

ahh think I follow. If he logged on as her then the card details including the 3 security numbers i think (but only the last 4 digits of the card are left showing ) would be stored in the payment screen and anyone could re-submit the screen option to pay for more credit etc.

I'm trying to check if I can buy points without entering my card details again, but the xbox live site isn't working for me at the moment

[ummmm]

When we topped up with my card to we had to put the security code in each time.

[ummmm]

Cheers Chuck...that would be a great help.

I don't want to answer the mail unless I have a few facts...

I do believe my son hasn't done anything wrong here...and I'm not the type of Mother to take his side because he's mine..

Nomercy also has has problems with her credit/debit card on-line.

I think that once the card details are on the internet, then it's a free for all

[ummmm]

Alba...they are basically accusing my son of theft.

He's a little so and so at times but this is a bit much. I think it's more of a case that XXX dumped YYY and YYY is not happy with XXX....and YYY's Mother is annoyed with XXX Mother because I told her to get a grip...
