For those who frequent the xbox marketplace, you are aware that it is dominated by mw3/live/msp/fifa 12 sales.
Over the past month Ive dealt with fifa 12 coin trades (buying and selling bulk amount of coins) and have become very worried by what has been taking place.
With only someone's email address and there date of birth you can call EA support and gain full access to there account. (Very common, an example here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cfr88F5COY)
Alot of people tend to use the same email for everything (including xbox live) and if someone was to find out there birthday, they could call EA supports and have access to someones account holding all of there fifa 12 coins.
An example of someone trying to find out my date of birth:
(him pming me, to confirm his sythe identity)
(him trying to get my old online pass, which Im guessing can also be used to recover your account)
The fact of the matter is, you can't ban people for asking your date of birth. What I believe should happen, is there should be a sticky in the xbox market section to educate and warn people about this potential threat towards there account. Also, if enough evidence is presented and the individual looks alarmingly suspicious, (like in the pictures above), I believe it should warrant a twc.
