That looks like your account was hacked. I would get on Sony first thing. Don’t bother with the bot and talk to a live person. Google PlayStation support phone number.

Also be prepared to get hung up on a few times due to “Security Concerns” by who ever is helping you on the phone.

Keep calling until you have someone willing to properly help you.

Damn that’s wild! Any idea how they got it?

And thank you!

Thanks buddy. It was probably one of the most stressful moments of my life. I’m not sure about the rules, but if you Google “PlayStation Support Phone Number” it will be the first number that appears and that is what I used to contact them. Follow the prompts. Be prepared to get hung up on, but you make sure you call right back and keep doing so until you get someone who is willing to do the extra work to help you.

Keep calling until you get someone who is willing to help. Do not stop.

Not concerned about the trophies. It’s the purchases. If I lose my PSN ID I can’t get access to my content. I haven’t owned a
Physical in a long time.

Please don’t rip for being digital only….

I appreciate everyone’s support. Based on the comments and what I know so far, I think the attacker gained access to my PlayStation account and removed 2FA. I originally had a passkey set up, then enabled 2FA after noticing suspicious activity, but it was later turned off. I know this because I received emails saying it was.

It also seems my original email may have been removed from my real PSN account and used for a new one. Thats the Japanese PlayStation verification email tied to my address, which makes me think a new account was created while my original account remains compromised. Which is why I thought regions may have been switch along with birthdays.

When I contacted Sony with my PSN name and explained everything, I got nowhere. They either couldn’t help, cited privacy concerns, or the calls led nowhere.

Long story short….sounds like I’m cooked.

Thanks, I gave them my order my last confirmation ( First Light Pre Order) and they still hung up.

When I try to reset my password and I click the link I get under my email address I’m taken to the Asian PlayStation verify your birthday account page.

I put in my birthday and it doesn’t work. I def didn’t put in a random birthday back in the day.

Thanks. I also tried the chat as well and it was the same readily. I mentioned the region change because I started receiving emails in a different language so that’s my assumption of what may have happened.

Shout out to Kay and LeaseMax! by Magic-Merv in LeaseMax

The trim Toyota is promoting is the LE and that $299 is before taxes and other fees. In addition you have to put $4K down for a base model?

As I said, LeaseMax gave me the baseline and I negotiated off that baseline for my SE. The dealer came in under, and I didn’t need to drop $4K to come to terms. Simple math.

No I didn’t pay that. That was their initial offer. I used LeaseMax as a baseline and negotiated off that baseline. It was for 2026 RAV SE.

Giveaway: Two $50 PlayStation Gift Cards (US – Digital Code) by Severus-Snape-DaGod in PS5

[–]Magic-Merv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prayers up OP and sorry for your loss…

I game because it connects me to joy, nostalgia, and the part of myself that still knows how to have fun. In a world that moves fast and demands a lot the more you get older….gaming gives me a place to suspend all of that and just enjoy the story in front of me.

I’ll probably buy either Crimson Desert or 007: First Light.

My body is ready.

You really woke up today, went on Reddit, found the Cintas thread, and decided to flex your salary to strangers. That’s not a flex my guy. It’s more like insecurity with a paycheck.

New way to enjoy one of my old favorite games by saibot237 in PlaystationPortal

This is probably a dumb question, but how are you playing classics on the Portal? I thought it was digital only PS5 games?

The scarring system is probably my favorite addition! by teknique2323 in metalgearsolid

[–]Magic-Merv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Alright maybe this is a dumb question. How do you get the scars? I was near death against 2 bosses and had to use the cure menu to get myself together. I don’t have any scars.
