nothing apart from the usual.


he may know who it was, but I'm guessing he can't prove it.

Eek that sucks.

How big was his collection of trophies on his account? Maybe he could start over if it isn't much?

Damn i hate hackers. I have too many trophies now to risk giving my details out. All that effort going to waste would make me stop playing games….for a while anyways lol.

If it did happen to me i'd be able to play some games again for trophies like Fallout 3!

Maybe he could contact sony? The age lie probably won't help him at all. Sorry i'm not sure what he could do.

How does someone hack there account?  Did they provide personal information or something?  Did they let a person use their account to get a download or something?

Yeah. Some people pretend they wanna share games so some people give out their email and password. Next thing theyve changed the password and then the email. I've gamershared twice. Never again. Too much work has gone into my account now.

Thats wgy I use a secondary account to game share, but I only game share with prople I trust. I.E. Friends and family, however I have got 2 or 3 PSN friends sharing with me on my second account.

Going back to tyhe original topic, if he lied to sony about his age, that wont be an issue… Get him to get one of his parents to call sony up and explain the situation and have them lie about his age.

I just never game share.  I do not trust people.  There is very few people I trust, and each one of them has earned it.  So, I would never give out my account information to anyone.

I would think that Sony could assist in some manner if you somehow lost access to your account.  As a database guy, I believe Sony's sytem would be set up track everything and keep a history of everything…its basic database stuff.  I wouldn't hesitate to contact them…maybe blame it on your little brother or something and don't fess up to the fraud.

like we've all said before, you should only gameshare with people you physically know, and are very good friends.


and thanks to Oz for pointing out that I'm a platinum user lol I hadn't realised it!

Good thought, but if the guy gave away his details to someone else, then sony are just gonna say 'Your fault'
