Gamers beware. If you get email from “Xbox Support”, use your best judgement to determine if it’s legit. The image below is a real spam e-mail, posing as official Xbox communications…
Things to look for in spam email: 1. Hyperlinks that link to web domains that are unfamiliar to you. 2. The “reply-to” address may not match the “from” address. 3. The use of “check out the new features” four times in a three sentence paragraph.
So pass it on and tell a friend. Together, we can beat spams high score.
Platform Nation is a collaboration of several gaming podcasts who decided it would be best for our gamers, the podcasters and the rest of the gaming community if they came together to share efforts. Together we have a larger voice in the community for the gamers that we strive to speak for. We share the same forums and for the most part, share the same listeners. After all, we are a community, not a network.
