Guessing quite a few people already know about this, but figured Id make a topic to spread the word:

You'd have to open the message first. And what kind of la la land are they living in where people use real names or actual pics?

I got one or two of those. On PS4 I've gotten a handful that claim they're bored, looking for friends, and found my name online. The responses are canned and if you don't answer it never gets to step 2.

Seriously? Huh. I have like 30 people on mine and nobody uses it. Definitely no pics. Maybe I just chose the right crowd who isn't THAT social.

They fixed it, apparently anyone that encountered it can fix their console by deleting the message through the mobile app

You can request to real name share with close friends. I only have real friends on my psn, so having the real names just makes things easier (firstname lastname is playing game is a lot better to see than some dorky screenname)

Yeah, I think besides the 4 or so potd people, I only have irl friends on my psn friends so nothing is wrong with sharing real names

Lmfao, they did a stupid deal where if you spent like $100 in the psn store youd get $10 back and the code was sent as a message. Since they sent the codes out at the end of the period for it I totally forgot about the promotion and when I got a code I was like lol bs and deleted the message and then a short while after my other friends came online and were like oh we got our cash back bonus. Was pretty annoyed that they had such a dumb method instead of just auto crediting our accounts -__-

microsoft does the same thing, except their messages go into a specific "from microsoft" page on the message list.
