OBVIOUS: Don’t Give Out Your Password or Cheat to Get Gamerscore on XBL

For those of you who are self proclaimed “achievement whores” remember this; Microsoft is watching you. Major Nelson took the time out of his day to state what most of us would consider “the obvious.”

For those of you who trust just about anyone they meet on Xbox Live: As you probably already know, it’s not a good idea to give out your password to someone offering to get you achievements. Why? Well, isn’t it obvious? Especially if you have a credit card linked to your Gamertag.

If items are charged on your account that you didn’t buy, there is nothing Microsoft can do about it. Unfortunately, you gave out your information. The only way to stop them is to cancel your account. But, cancelling your account gets rid of everything; including your precious Gamerscore.

Long story short; don’t cheat to boost your Gamerscore, and don’t give out your personal information. Thanks, Major Nelson.

    Boosters suck….Really bad.
    They are a black eye on the gaming industry as a whole. (IMO of course)

    I hear the same old story every time.”Booster/cheaters have a right to play the games they paid good money for any way they choose”
    Well…Agreed.

    But I say that the rest of us have the same right to hate and expose you for the bottom feeders that you are.

    All cheaters and/or boosters should be reported to http://www.xboxlivecheaters.com
    Proof is needed of course. The site has an ever growing list of the slime that inhabits XBL.
    It’s also a great way the help keep your online sessions Maggot free.

    (just had to throw that out there.)
    I HATE CHEATERS!!!
