XBOX Live Identify Theft?

I got a phone call from Microsoft's XBOX Live service asking me to fill out a survey after my call to XBOX Live customer support on 10/10 at 2:30am.

I told them that I didn't call XBOX Live customer support on 10/10, especially at 2:30am. They said that I could just ignore the survey then, but they wouldn't tell me who it was that called.

I'm going to do more digging into this because I think I heard about this before. A group of folks to to get XBOX Live account information by making customer service calls.

Re: XBOX Live Identify Theft?

According to XBOX Live customer support, the survey company was the scammer, not somebody contacting XBOX Live.

I guess they were trying to sell me something, rather than wanting me to fill out a survey.
