    Well, I accidentally logged onto a phishing site, and entered my emai and password *link removed*
    DO NOT SIGN IN

    What can/should I do? I'm kind of freaking out right now. I don't think I have any money or anyhting like that linked it it, but its linked to B.net and he might be able to get onto my Xbox account.

    You should remove that link, who knows how many unsuspecting morons are going to click it without reading your warning.

    I've never been the best at explaining any thing you can do, but maybe this could help?

    Its okay I think. I've changed my password and there doesn't appear to be any damage done. I just feel like an idiot because I entered my password onto the site that looked exactly like the Xbox log-in page. I didn't realize that the url link was a false custom created page until after I entered my e-mail and password.

    As long as you manage to change the password before they do your ok. Did you have your credit card entered into your Live account?

    Never mind, you cannot see the entire number.
