Edit: Nope apparently not. See post in page 3 for details.
So in work, and I checked my personal email, as you do.
To be honest I often ignore it as its mainly Spammy even with gmail filtering.
I notice a mail from PlayStation. "Thanks for your purchase"
Then another "funds have been allocated to your account."
About a half hour previous to my checking, Skyrim special edition was purchased for 39.99.
I was is work delivering training sessions all afternoon.
I can't think of a game I'd be less likely to buy than skyrim, I had it on 360, sunk a hundred hours into its terrible combat, and generous side quests, I did love to wander, then as my over powered dragon armoured warrior began to focus on the main questline, I lost the savefile during a hdd upgrade. Never again would I play the game I said.
Until somehow today my account purchased it.
I've contacted support, logged my ticket, the game removed, and it will be refunded I'm told, and the account is being investigated. I have changed my password.
What I'm trying to understand is how.
I have 2 PS4s in my home and I am also signed in on my nephews.
Only my PS4s have billing details
The only person in my house today was my elderly dad. The ps4 he could access has no controller associated to it. (Through it can be controlled via TV remote )
My other PS4 is in accessible to him.
My PSN account had (had) a massive 25+ character pass ohrase completely unique to it never used on any other website.
I am signed into PlayStation store only on my phone browser, the Android app and my work laptop. Though all were signed out AFAIK.
So trying to figure out how that happened.
Perhaps I got hacked or the app leaked data somehow.
Perhaps someone touched my ps4 pad and bought by mistake.
Will provide serial number details to them when home to see if bought from a console or online account.
TL;DR Somehow my PSN account bought Skyrim. Next time Dark souls 3 please.
