I was selling the method to get a free Xbox One by exploiting a hole in Microsoft's Advance Console Return policy in which they send a new Xbox One console immediately to somebody who is sending their Xbox One console to Microsoft for repairs - the idea behind that policy is to get a new console to somebody as quickly as possible without making them wait for their own console to be repaired and returned.

There exists an exploit to take advantage of that policy to get a free console - and I was selling the steps required to do so

I was hit with a negative rating without ever having sold the method to anyone nor did I ever do it myself

I explained to Malevolent several times that all he did was damage my reputation. He said "He wanted to warn people I was scamming Microsoft" - I explained he wasn't ACTUALLY warning anybody as I had never actually sold the method nor done it myself and that I decided to toss that aside entirely to perform computer services instead to make an honest buck

I am still engaging with him to have that rating removed because as I said, it isn't actually warning anybody of anything I REALLY did and is now preventing me from getting customers for my computer services

So it still means your first idea was to scam people/microsoft and now you realized its easier to make money honestly?

I guess you could build up the reputation by providing small/inexpensive services to start with.
