Xbox 720 scams outed as Major Nelson calls for caution

Xbox 720 scammers have been asking gamers to hand over their personal details in a string of fake mailing list cons. Microsoft's Major Nelson has asked everyone to remain vigilant in spotting the scam.

Nelson, real name Larry Hyrb said on his Twitter feed:

Thanks CVG.
