There is a scam going around that my brother-in law just became a victim of.

He says he recieved a message on live this morning. The message read:

"omg i just got 4,000 points at www.xblprizes.tk hurry while it lasts!

He replied to the site, entered his info (email address & password). This evening he said he couldn't connect to Live, and his XboxLive.com password has been changed.

A handful of friends told me they've gotten the same message, but didn't reply to it. These friends and brother-in-law are all in the same "circle", who play Halo 3 a lot. So I don't know if the message came from someone they played with/against.

Anyway I just thought I'd pass this along to warn others of this scam.

When you said retard, it reminded me of "The Hangover".
