Phishing scam over Xbox Live

Yesterday as I read the message boards at xbox.com, I received a private message on my Live account from a person on my “friends list” regarding Microsoft points and how they were giving some out for free. This is what the message said and i will leave out the weblink so no one else can fall prey to this.

www.freex_______point.t is giving away free microsoft points!! check it out before it ends I got 3200 so far and currently getting more!

So without giving it thought I went to the link and another window popped up that was just like the xbox.com home page.  I had to log back in because it said I was loged off.  So I put in my password and right when I hit enter I said to myself “FUCK!!  Why did I do that?” That is when I knew something was not right.  When I got home i had 8 messages, some with the exact same message that I received the first time and some from my friends asking if it was real.

So anyways if you receive this DO NOT go to it and enter you password like I did.  Heads up every body, I hope this helps some of you.
