Junkmail on PS3?

YYTerror · 13-10-2009, 10:56 PM

So, yesterday and today, I´ve been getting messages saying that e.g. if I send the message forward to 20 ppl, I´ll get 20$ to use for the PS-store. Another one said that psn wouldn`t be free anymore and that I should send the message forward to xx amount of ppl and blablablaa...

The last one came today. It said that there is some Call of duty [Removed] out now and yadayada... All from different users and none of who I know.

What`s up with that? Why am I getting these messages?

I'm getting them from randoms as well; get about 10-15 a day

Have you started to get them recently or for a longer time?

I get a lot of them now. Only for the past week or 2. Ever since I got CoD it started, I've been blocking every random I've gotten them from.

Send them a message saying they violated the PSN T.O.S. Make it sound somewhat legit w/o giving too much information. That's what I did, and they seem to have stopped.

I got the COD one once. But the other spam that people actually believe! I delete them and for people that I know in real life I send them to stop sending because you are slowing down the PSN, which is true and they stop.

Random Spam Mail. Don't Ignore them just delete the message and move on but if your getting 4-5 messages from the same person I suggest you ignore.
