PSN User Had $12,500 Taken From Credit Card – Picture From Bank

For the past few weeks PSN users had been reporting that their credit card linked with their PSN account had been compromised and they have had to close it down. However, many had been skeptical if they were telling the truth. Now, however, a PlayStation Network user has stated he’s had $12,500 taken from his credit card; this time, though, the user has provided picture proof from their bank account that someone has indeed tried to take $12,500 from his card that was linked to his PSN card.

A user named Progmetal first said this on GAF:

I’ve just noticed a transaction on my Credit Card I use for PSN for the amount of $12500.

Called as soon as I could and closed my card. Hmmmmm, sceptic..


Later on, readers asked him to show actual picture proof from his bank which he then provided. Check out the image below





Progmetal said that the currency was in Norwegian Kroner, and the large transaction was ‘Reserved’, consequently leading to their balance on the card resulting in 0.00. The initial amount taken from his account was 74 720 Norwegian Kroner’s; which equates to $12,500.

Another GAF commentator later confirmed that the money being reserved means when you make a charge to it; further solidifying the case that Progmetal had his credit card (linked to his PlayStation Network account as he clearly stated) heavily compromised by the possible PSN hackers.

For those wondering why Progmetal had “shit for brain” on his Google search bar on the top right hand corner within the image, he said on the matter when someone asked:

I was just wondering what the term meant and forgot it was still there in the search window.

It’s certainly troubling to see someone providing actual picture proof now, and one can only wonder if it’s actually happened to countless more PlayStation Network users. Have you had any similar experiences? Let us know via the comment section below.

Yoo late :carling:

im not real good in law, but i'm pretty sure he will have to provide sony with more than just a picture, i mean seriously i could go to my account right now and charge something like that and take a pic of it. no i dont have that much money, but i could charge something that i could afford. i'm not saying it didn't or it did, what im trying to say is that a picture isn't going to be proof enough..

Any half decent bank would have noticed the strange activity and blocked the account. They just wouldn't let 12,500 be taken out like that since such a withdrawal would set off alarms.

The pics aren't showing.

How can it be from PSN? It could be shopped, he could fake it or he could just have the money himself.
Shit like this is just to obvious.

If some random fella says that money has been stolen from his CC while PSN is hacked, people get alerted and think ''$$'' They start doing shit like this.

Your face when you realize no actual money has been stolen from the CC's.

Thats not enough proof for anyone, how do we know he didn't buy something then just say PSN took it? How do we know some other hacker didn't take it, this stuff happens all the time and I believe this is just a coincidence or a photoshoped picture.

i would sue sony if that was me.. just to be safe.. im checking my bank account transactions..

I highly doubt you would win against Sony in court. It would be to hard to prove it was from the PSN hackers.

Could still be fake, right after Sony said they would refund all illegal transactions, I can see a lot of people making some stuff like this up just to get compensation from Sony.
