Getting swatted and how to avoid it

[tcg2323]

Hey guys its tcg, I am here to tell you guys why I left and what happened. Well, I was streaming some Call of Duty, I was at around 70+ viewers so I was at the top. It was around 2am, all the sudden I get this call from my local police telling me to come outside, so I leave the stream and walk outside and look through the shades of my upstairs window, I see a swat van, 6 cop cars, and a ambulance. I walk down outside and one cop puts me in handcuffs and asked where my mom was, so I had to get her and my brother and I had to sit in the cop car. Like 20 cops storm into my house looking for dead bodies, Basically someone called my local police station and said I killed my mom and I was going to kill my brother if they didnt come and rescue him. I had to go to the police station and sleep in the jail cell for 4 days. The police asked me who made the call, I told them I dont know. So they took my computers for 2 weeks. They still havent found the guy.

So, how to avoid getting swatted? Firstly, never use your first and last name on xbox live, ever. Thats how they find out about you and thats what happen with me. Secondly, never act like a cool internet person online. That just makes it worse. Lastly, you never want to let them find your facebook, twitter, instagram or any online social media. Thankfully a month later I got all my information back, but they never caught the guy.

But sadly, that means I am leaving MCSG. Its been a fun 2 years with you guys, I know most of you dont remember me or know me, but I have been a active member of the community for the past 2 years. Goodluck to all of you.

This is tcg signing off..

Thats really unfortunate, and whoever made that call is honestly sick in the mind. But surely couldn't they trace back the call to the caller. I thought they had that sort of technological knowledge. That's really unfortunate man, goodluck in your future endeavours. Bye
