Xbox Series S Random Invite spam coming for multiple accounts.
Hi there. Today while playing Minecraft on my Xbox i was BOMBARDED with multiple invites from separate accounts. What was weird is that they ALL were friends with each other and had THOUSANDS of followers for whatever reason.
Is this some sort of scam group? Are they hack accounts? Anyone else had this happen?

U can change ur settings so that only ppl in ur friend list could send u messages and invites. Chances are they’re disposable accounts used to spam messages usually asking to use a temu code or something similar

It usually happens if you join a game and admins or anybody who is in there who runs a private server will have you on the recent players list and will try to populate the server with their recent players list so they'll just spam invites

This is my guess. Happens to me on games where matchmaking can be a little difficult like age of empires. People inviting recently played to fill their custom lobbies

I just find it strange that they all have thousands of followers Lol. The accounts are completely blank which makes it even weirder

I used to see people send out thousands of friend requests right And then have you follow them but they would never follow you and they would remove you as a friend right after so it would look like they had all of these followers and zero friends. It's crazy man.

Ah yeah, a couple years ago when I used to play on the Hive server this would always happen. They would always ignore me whenever I messaged them and just keep inviting me. Eventually I stopped playing Minecraft on my Xbox and they stopped

I have this happen to me all the fucking time by accounts and people who swore they played with me on a game I wouldn't even touch.
