【Warning】 - LBP2 BETA Phishing Scam - scammer has been permanently banned. Peace ^ ^

【Warning】！！！ This LBP2 Beta Phishing Scam guy is getting serious

I posted here yesterday about a suspicious guy claimed to be Media__Molecule* ( * 2 _ _ in the middle)

He sent me a PSN msg about the coming lbp2 beta avalaible to be purchased soon.
We soon figured that was a total scam. Clearly, I’m not the only one receiving that msg, I thought this guy has to be stopped before more innocent child gives away their login informations. So, I did report this guy. However, this guy doesn’t seem to know when to stop. And today I received 2 more PSN msgs from him. He’s even more serious this time claiming he’s working with SONY. Here are all 3 msgs I received from him. So, guys watch out for this guy, don’t let this jerk get any of us.

The 1st PSN msg I received:

'Dear PSN online user, we would like to notify you of the ‘LittleBigPlanet2 Beta’ that will be released shortly. If you wish to purchase this limited beta please confirm your online sign in and your password. Everything on or used in connection with our Sites, including text, images, graphics, logos, audio and video content and software (collectively, ‘Content”) with the exception of User Generated Content is owned by us or our affiliates, subsidiaries, licensors or suppliers."

The 2nd PSN msg I received:

"To participate in this Beta you must confirm that you as the PSN online user are over 16. If you wish to purchase this limited Beta please confirm your email and password. If you have any queries please contact us at Riley RussellLegal & Business Affairs DepartmentSony Computer Entertainment America Inc. 919 East Hillside Blvd., 2nd FloorFoster City, CA 94404 By phone: 650-655-8000 By email: infringement@playstation.sony.com"

The 3rd PSN msg I received:

"If you wish to participate in the LittleBigPlanet2 limited beta you have 24Hours to reply. Thank you for your time. "

This guy seriously wanted to fool some innocent users. He has to be stopped.

X-NOBODY-X


BTW: I replied his message titled "My login ID ^^ "

ID: You are such a liar
Password: You have been reported

I can't thank you enough for giving me this opportunity to play Lbp2, please give me your bank information, I'll send you the money ^ ^

Why would MM want your login details? Guaranteed fake, plus I think that username is known as an imposter.

It's fake. Anying asking your pass is fake. ANYTHING!

Yes, more than likely fake. I believe Mm would've announced the beta anyway.

Yeah, it's fake. :(

They should never ask you for your login details whether it's Sony, or Media Molecule, or anyone else for that matter, I expect if for some weirdly strange reason they did need your login details they probably have it recorded on some super secret thing...

And this is actully something they encourage you to report to them, please, report them here, immediately before some innocent child gives away there login details. :cry:

If and when a beta comes out, it will probably be announced in advance and the invitations will go out by email. You will not be required to provide your account details to anyone as you will simply need to sign into the PSN store and enter your code as though it was a DLC code.

As doopz suggests, please report this using the link above.

The report site isn't working for me, it says my email address is incorrect, and I can't find any help on that.

Are you definitely using the same email and password you use to sign into PSN on your PS3? Click Forgot Password and try that, I've had trouble before and found out I was just using an old password. :)

I reported already

Nice to see ya XnobodyX!
Stick around much?

I hope so, Pretty excited about the LBP2, Can't wait to see what we can do with it ... ^^

Everyone is the same. So excited!

i wish i got to use the beta :( for LBP2, ive never even played Any beta before:cry:

Sony or any other game developer/empoyee will never ask for your login credentials, password, credit cards, or any other personal information related to your account. And definately not via the PSN.

Note: Moved this to the Everything Else LBP2 subforum for lack of actual news/media content.

why would sony themselves need you to give your password? they already know it, so you have a very good point

Actually, the US site doesn't have the same grief reporting, it's just a "report user" thing, and it sucks. It makes you enter your email and PSNID but not your password, and it doesn't let you specify what they did or when. So it's not recognizing my email, and it's definitely the right one.

This guy really seriously wanted to fool some innocent users. He has to be stopped.

Well he's just an idiotic 9 year old sitting behind a computer who has 4 author hearts.

Its sad to see that people use the good name of MediaMolecule to take over accounts :(
maybe u should tell MM?!

wait this guy is only in PSN or in LBPC?

This guy sound serious. Does he have any prove that he works for sony?

Also if he wants your email and your password you know that is a really bad idea :mad:
