Microsoft doesn't shy away from outright lying to pry phone numbers from people.
I made a couple of Xbox accounts for my kids to use for some PC game. Used unique emails on my own domain and hosted on my own private mail server. Declined requests to provide any extras. Not a week in MS sends an email to both that literally said "Your _email_ account was hacked. Your Xbox account is suspended. Secure it with a phone number or it will be deleted."
The new and improved, people-friendly Microsoft. Just a fresh coat of paint over the same old core.
- mcv 5y agoThis is really bad. This should be considered outright computer fraud. It's a lie to extort information from you. Although it's probably way too small and trivial for that, I'd really like to see this slapped down hard by a court.
