Last night I was playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live when I happened upon a common occurrence. A few self righteous pricks with big mouths. Doing the socially acceptable thing I told them to do the rest of the world a favor and go kill themselves. Well they thought it would be just awesome if they ripped my Xbox Live account and took my Debit Card number as well as several others, and began rattling off all of this information.
Right away I put a stop on my Checking account and reported the problem to my bank. Later that night they tried to buy stuff on Live with my number. So no financial disasters….yet..
Today I called Microsoft, and they were very helpful. They referred me to their “escalations” department and have yet to call back to pursue my case.
So as recommended by my bank, I call the FTC, where I learn that these kids can get off on the technicality that they didn’t “steal” anything, only my information. The only thing that I can really prosecute for is the fact that they threatened to send a pipe bomb to my home address. Yes, you heard me they threatened to bomb my family.
Am I the only one sick of insolent little -blam!-s getting away with stuff like this. Whether or not they caused any immediate financial damage of no concern to me, they not only have my Xbox Account, but access to my previous Debit Card, and they claim to have my Social Security Number. With all the other stuff they’ve pulled I’m inclined to believe them.
I am still doing all I can to prosecute them, they have all of my information and no one is helping me out. The government doesn’t care that my identity has essentially been stolen. Microsoft keeps transferring me; only my bank has done anything.
Does anyone have any ideas? Here is all the information I currently have on them:

I have had to put up with all kinds of cheaters while playing Halo, no one is helping me give these pricks what they deserve.
LI LeGeNd LI Also Called Himself God. He told me he decides who gets to have an account and who doesn't.
