Don't be fooled: Home Beta Injector scam puts PSN accounts at risk |
Ó
With the recent invites for the closed beta of PlayStation Home already being sent out, a lot of people are excited at the prospect of living a dynamic virtual life on the next-gen console. However, it seems that some people want to take advantage of this excitement by running a cheap scam to fool people into revealing their PSN account details.A program calling itself the "Home Beta Injector" was recently sighted, which supposedly generates a redemption code for Home beta by entering your PSN e-mail address and password. Kids, let this be a lesson for everyone. The PlayStation Home team would never ask for your password. Doing so would definitely put your account, personal information and credit card details at risk.
If you happen to have given away your account information, please make sure to contact PlayStation support to try and solve this problem. SCEA Legal is currently trying to address this scam to prevent it from spreading any further.

People who give away their password deserve anything and everything that happens to them.
If you're stupid enough to willingly divulge those details, then you deserve to be ripped off. It's the only way some people will learn.
"PlayStation support to try and solve this problem. SCEA Legal is currently trying to address this scan to prevent it from spreading any further." You said scan instead of Scam.
people might actually fall for this. Whoever created this can't even spell PlayStation correctly. Fail. Reminds me of the scams that noobs fell for with Steam. I've seen many conversations over Xfire with people posing as Steam Support or Steam Admin.
That was totally worth pointing out. Well done.
"If you happen to have given away your account information, please make sure to contact PlayStation support to try and solve this problem.

*head desks* Thanks for the heads up. Should be fixed by the time this reply goes up. :P
change your password?
dont know how anyone would fall for it, if it was PSN, they wouldnt need u to enter your details, as it's all automatically done though PSN
