My understanding is that you have one, unchangeable, permanent Windows LIVE ID. Unfortunately, there's no way to change this. But, you can change your password for this account and as long as they don't know the password, they shouldn't be able to gain access to your account again.
okay, thanks boobs.
i had horrible visions of my bank account reading $0.00

If you receive an invitation to join Playfire.com, do not do it. Playfire, a social networking site for gamers, has been maliciously collecting users' Microsoft Windows LIVE ID credentials and spamming friends lists with invitations to join their site.
Hi, Benji here from Playfire. Just wanted to explain what we're doing and try and clear up some of the misunderstandings that have been floating about.
Firstly, we're not a phishing site. At no time do we store your Xbox LIVE password, nor do we use it for anything other than what is explained on the page.
Secondly, we don't spam friends lists. When you verify your gamertag we show your friends list and you have the option to select/deselect and invite them via an Xbox LIVE PM. We do not, and will not ever send messages without your consent.

If your account has already been compromised, I would attempt to change your password. I'm not sure how credible the reports are, but there has been reports of using the credit cards attached to accounts for malicious purposes.
I repeat, your account would not have been compromised by us. We don't store passwords and do not use them for anything other than scraping your actual gamertag and sending invite PMs. It works in the same way as an email friend finder (such as those ourselves, Facebook, MySpace etc. use).
You do not have to verify your gamertag in order to use the site, go in via the homepage to skip this. Feel free to get in touch with me directly if you have any more questions. I'll try to answer questions on here as well.

Benji,
Will you be addressing any of the issues raised in this blog post and comments or will you be running away again?

yeah sorry Mr. BENJI but I will not go to your website whether or whether not you are doing as you claim.
Have a nice day.
Edit: In regards to Impaler. I guess he ran away already and thanks for bringing that blog to our attention.
