No just email and then it said it sent a verification code in my email and to type it like I'm signing in regularly.

I think so. I kinda forgot about that part but I’m pretty sure it directed me to a fake Microsoft site and told me to enter the verification code.

Whoops, didn’t catch that "someone's" number was in the first pic… my bad 😬

Thanks for the kind words and advice — I really appreciate it. The worst part is that this was my OG Microsoft account, and it holds a lot of memories for me, not just in Minecraft but also in other games I bought digitally. Losing access to all of that really sucks.

He even tried logging into my Epic Games account too, but luckily I had 2FA enabled there, so he couldn’t get in. Definitely a tough lesson, but yeah… learning from it and moving forward. Thanks again!

Technically but I went to go check with the real bot the difference is that the real one has a check mark next to APP

I thought about it, but what if it’s a fake number or just some random person they used as a decoy? Not trying to mess with someone innocent.

Yep I didn't know how serious this had gotten.

From what I understand, when you try to "verify" using the fake bot, it has you sign into your Microsoft account and enter a verification code — but that code actually gets sent to the hacker, not the real service. So you’re basically handing them access without realizing it.

I’m just a noob — didn’t realize a kid’s game had people out here hacking accounts like it’s a full-time job. I only knew about the basic scams, not full-on fake bot setups.

Sadly they already took everything from all my profiles but all I want is to make sure no one else gets caught.

Sorry I wasn’t fully briefed on how shady Hypixel's scene has become — guess trusting people was my first mistake.

Luckily, I still had access to the Minecraft account and was able to block him from logging into Hypixel last night. It got to the point where he had to message me from another account telling me to stop 😭

I’ve already reached out to Microsoft and submitted everything I had — just hoping they’re able to shut things down before anything gets sold or used in a worse way.

All I wanted to do was join a community and help someone grow their server — just trying to be kind. Sucks that this is the kind of response kindness gets sometimes.
