Window_Starer 07/05/17 12:30:55 AM #1:	I used to get put in group chats with randoms for those free psn $20 code scams, this would happen almost every week for a whole month or so. Yesterday I got an actual bot messaging me, you can tell by the psn profile with no games played. It was like those automated Tinder responses, 'I'm a 22/f college student doing crazy stuff on my webcam site'. I'd kept replying random responses which they replied back until I told them I was 12 (I'm not mods) when they brought up camming. I guess they're programmed to stop replying if they detect a phrase indicating you're <18 years old. Has andybody else experienced this? --- Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card <cite>Window_Starer posted [p:882349880] in How common...

Sometimes I'll sign in and I'll have a message from some obvious scammer selling/giving away PSN codes, or I'll be added to some group chat with a bunch of people seemingly started by a scammer. It's happened probably 3-4 times. Just don't reply to them. I think you can turn off non-friend PSN messages to avoid this <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:882350036] in How common...

But it might make you a further spam target because you've acknowledged the messages and I don't imagine most do. <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:882350120] in How common...

Yeah I was just checking if there was some rare hacking bot incident or something like that haha. I don't use psn network so I'm always suspicious of any messages --- Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card <cite>Window_Starer posted [p:882350265] in How common...

Like I said I really doubt they could somehow get your account through that but it couldn't hurt. <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:882350308] in How common...
