Hmm, I've been getting random hellos for past few weeks now. Must be related.
Same. Always a blank profile.

Gotten a few over the last week myself.
Are these confirmed bots?
I had no idea this thread existed but this same bot sent me the same exact messages a few days ago. Luckily I don't really give strangers my time and was able to quickly notice this wasn't an actual person talking to me. Crazy and annoyingSo I just received a random "hi xox" message from a random person on PSN. Naturally curious I answered and a semblance of a normal conversation followed. Until it dawned on me that I was talking to a bot.
How did I know it was a bot? The conversation didn't evolve correctly once I showed signs of pushback. Like I said, the conversation started normally, until the bot started mentioning that it does private cam shows. I said I don't like watching camgirls, but the bot just prattles on and even giving me a link (didn't click on it obviously).
I made screens of the conversation so I can prove this really happened, but honestly the last place I would expect to find these kinds of chatbots was on PSN.
UPDATE:
Screenshots of how you can recognize a bot profile, it's real easy!
Screenshots on how a typical bot conversation would go (obviously links have been censored).
Anyone else had this kind of "experience" on PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, etc.?
This never happens on Xbox Live anyone know why?
Go to Messages > Options Menu > Privacy Settings (Messages) and set it to 'Only Friends'. It's working so far.Just got another, anything I can do on my part to stop this?
Same shit over here across multiple accounts :
Go to Messages > Options Menu > Privacy Settings (Messages) and set it to 'Only Friends'. It's working so far.
This should work too: Privacy Settings | PlayStation®4 User's Guide (Managing Your Friends List and Messages section)
Sony, can we please have a privacy setting for 'Friends or people I've played with'* thanks
* don't wanna lose those salty rage quit fighting game messages

If you press and hold on the actual words of the bot message, you can choose More, with Report as one of the options. It will send the messages from the bot to them with an option to mark as spam
This is honestly getting pretty annoying, but I'm guessing there is not much Sony can do on there end since it's their mobile app. Guess I'll just have to set my message preferences to friends only.

Can always try sending the ModBots a PM!
I've been getting a new bit message almost every couple of days too. Weirdest part is I've never played online and I don't have any psn friends. How did they find me?!
Holy shit I just got 4 friend requests in seconds from them.
They are evolving!
