I've been bitching about this in various PSN threads, so thought I'd vent my frustration into a single thread.
So about two weeks ago now, I woke up one Sunday morn to find that £30 had been put into my PS Wallet... hm... drunken impulse buys? No. FIFA points. Well, I'm not the Fifa player in any shape or form, so I knew instantly it was fraudulent. Rang up Sony Customer Support (UK) and spent multiple calls and about 20 minutes at a time trying to get in touch with a representative. FINALLY got on the phone to somebody, who told me they'd look into it right away. After that point, my account was "temporarily suspended" whenever I tried to log in. Whilst they were investigating, I assumed.
So about a week and a half ago now I got the £30 succesfully refunded into my account. Happy times! However... my account remains banned/suspended. I have called multiple times since, only to be told my case is with "head office" who can only be contacted by writing... they have no idea why my account is banned, nor how long it will take to fix. They have told me to stop calling, as they will get in touch as soon as they know what's going down.
TL;DR: My stolen money is returned, but my account is locked. Sony Support are all kinds of suck.
