Some woman named Wendy in Minnesota is using her credit card to put digital gift cards on my #microsoft account. The gift cards appear to be legit -- I now have a $160 in #xbox credit.
Is this a #scam? #fraud? Have I been #hacked?
Whatever it is, I don't think she's doing it right.
and no, there's no obvious way to report this to Microsoft. And I desperately need to, because it appears for all intents and purposes that I have defrauded Wendy.
help?
update: it appears someone (Wendy?) has redeemed one of the digital gift cards

I have no idea how this stuff works, but I think the first step should be changing your password.
@DrTCombs @tanquist I am fairly sure I don’t need to login to credit a gift - I can do that for my nephew. You just need the email the XBox account is registered to. It’s possibly a way to get a stolen/hacked credit card working without it being traceable or I think the blackmail/getting access ideas are the most likely.
