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.

yh but if thats true and he can get proper proof then i would sue

good luck getting that proof... you would almost have to single handedly solve the case by showing the hackers movements completely from when he cracked to when he tried to by something with your CC info after he sorted all the data out.

looks to me like someone went on a buying spree to get free money. let me guess, the transaction was at best buy for xbox stuff, a new ledtv, and surround sound?

This does not prove anything!! People have their credit cards compromised every, so does that mean it was due to the PSN issue?? NO!!! Stop posting crap like this and steering up public worry about their financial data being taken. It has not been determined that financial data was exposed or taken. Sony has a legal obligation to disclose this information if your credit was taken.

exactly

plus how do we know that this credit card was the one he had on file with PSN?
i thought sony got their database stolen(and was offered to buy it back) so they wouldnt even know if thats the same credit card that was linked?

Fake, I couldn't read and that sure didn't look like a bank statement.

YH Sure i buy a car and say i got stolen :fyea:

Awkward.......

Yeah it seems fake. it could have got stolen from something else

people would say anything to get internet fame.
you cant trust anyone that says they been hacked
