Hey more of a PSA than anything but my psn account got hijacked yesterday. They bought gta5 on my account and then changed the log in details. I didn't notice this had happened till today, at which point £500 had already left my account! All on psn games by the looks of it. I've just got off the phone to my bank and cancelled my card to prevent any more charges. Tomorrow I'm going to call Sony and get my account back using the three serial numbers. I have for my ps3 ps4 and vita, but I have no idea how Sony handle refunds as I had better get this money back.
What are peoples experiences with this sort of thing? And yeah, watch your accounts guys!
UPDATE:
Called them up too guy said my only option is to get my bank to do a chargeback which will probably lead to my account being banned and maybe my consoles too.
Looks like I'm seeking legal action I cant let £598 slide :/
UPDATE2:
Good News Everyone!
I got my money back! its ridiculous that it took 6 months to get it sorted however...
