Want to know how i could get a scammer's console or account banned


Recommended Posts

hey guys

i usually game share with alot of people and i don't get the sick twisted minds of those who try to steal your account

all i got is like 5 games, not trophies or friends, NOTHING! it's just an account i created to buy from the UAE store!

anyways this guy adds me and tells me that ppl on youtube know him i got like fine whatever i did it before why would you steal my empty account

so i gave him my password and email and he says that they're not working and calls me a scammer!

i told him something was wrong and i double checked my account details and everything seemed just fine

i told him to try again and so he did...

i have my other account as a friend on the account i'm currently using so i saw him getting online...sent him a msg saying your turn but he didn't reply

thought to myself maybe he respects my privacy like i normally do with others and didn't want to check it

then i find him using his own account and i was watching "everybody hates chris" so i thought after the show we'll finish up the deal

i look for him his not online...not only that, HE'S NOT ON MY F%#KING FRIENDS LIST!

i tried logging on my other account it said wrong password

so i got my password reset as that stupid A-HOLE didn't change the other details and i sent him this message

imag0160m.th.jpg

imag0161fo.th.jpg

as you can see from the message the guy's name is Tavo713 and if you google his name you'll find alot of results like this video

now i know why the game sharing topic (the one that made me join this forum :) ) got closed! i didn't get it at first!

anyways i want to get him banned i don't want him scamming any noobs or what so ever so is there anyway to contact sony to get them to deactivate his account or ban it or if possible GET HIS ENTIRE CONSOLE BANNED?!! he must have ALOT of games that are not his!

i have all the messages he sent me and the password change conformation message he sent me which i'm sure by matching the time of it with the time the password was change sony could know that the password was changed from maybe a different i.p. or a console with a different serial number or whatever.

if there's anything we can do please let me know guys

thanks for reading this boring topic i feel like Kratos from the rage right not!

Why on Earth would you give anyone your password?

Call me mean or whatever, but I hope PSN bans you for "Game Sharing" as well, because it's exclusively against their terms of service.

Dude you really have no case since you willingly gave away your password. Don't gameshare with random people and especially not Youtube. Hell, that Tavo only had demo's and a couple games... and he's all "if you wanna gameshare just give me your password". C'mon man! I see you did it as well looking at your sig, not a good idea bro. Just join a forum (obviously not this one) and if you're lucky you'll meet some nice, honest people like I did :)

You sir, are a genius.

Think about what you've just told us. You were trying to break the TOS that you agreed to, and you got scammed in the process. Who do you think is going to help you? Because let me tell you, I don't think Sony will be willing to.

Also, if it was an empty account then why were you handing it to him, and why did he want it? If there was nothing there then he had nothing to gain from acquiring the login details, and you had nothing to lose if you didn't get the account back.

Anyways is game sharing not legal?

Well it's almost like torrenting, isn't it? Someone paid for the right to view a TV programme on their TV, then they record it and share it with other people. Those people didn't pay for the right to view the material, and the company doesn't see any profit from it.

Apply the same logic to game-sharing. Someone paid for the right to play that game, then they share it with another user. That is one less user that is going to buy the game (since they now own it) and so the company doesn't see any return.

Check the TOS. I'm pretty sure that somewhere it says that your account is your own, and that you should not let anyone else have your login details. Part of the reason is security (as you have now learned) but part of it is to combat piracy.

That's my logic behind the situation. It might not be strictly correct, but ultimately the answer to your question is "no, it's not legal."

Actually at one point Sony actually promoted game sharing. I don't see anything wrong with it. A dev gave me some of his accounts and he doesn't physically know me (I've since deactivated most of them as he told me he's maxed out and afraid his PS3 might die).

Yeah this thread made me laugh too.

Rule of thumb for being online is

NEVER GIVE ANYONE, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE OR CLAIM TO BE, YOUR PASSWORD.

For example: Say for some reason Neobond or Redmak (the co owners of this site) asked for my password for whatever reason, say to test a new feature as a Subscriber2.

Tell em to F OFF. It doesn't matter who it is, a password on the net is the same as your passport to get in and out of a country. You wouldn't hand that to a random stranger now would you?

Anyway im glad you learned your lesson. Also re: game sharing, if a game is good, please buy your own copy. If a game is crap, I see nothing wrong with devs getting no money for it. If anything it shows them that they should of worked harder to produce a more polished game.

Anyway cheers thats my 2 cents.
