If you decide to trade in your Go make sure your credit/debit card information is off of there. I am letting you know this because i formatted my HDD on it but my card information was still on there and just today i had unconfirmed purchases being made on the playstation network with my card. This is serious, and i am going to contact Sony, so everyone just so you know, delete your card informaiton as well becasue formating your HDD wont do it.

Well.. PSP should have some feature in its firmware to clean up private data (like credit card number or profile info). But it's up to you to check if credit card number exists even after formatting PSPGo internal memory. I don't think that Sony will do something with your problem. It's sad that someone wasn't fair and used your card.. :/

Yes. It wouldn't hurt to call Sony, but first you should call your bank and have your credit card cancelled. Explain your story to them that someone is committing CC fraud with an online acccount of yours. Maybe your bank could help you get that money back. You might have a better chance with them than with Sony.

sony is lame on helping people they might give sum bs like its your problem. The best bet is too go back too where u sold it and see if they have info on the person and try to contact them about refunding your money back and maybe takeing you info off it.

Thanks for the heads up, man! I was planning on selling my old PSP (since I bought a new one). I'll be sure to do that. Oh, and hope you get that problem sorted out soon, man.

I would be SOOOOOO pissed off.

Good work posting this info, hopefully Sony won't allow Go users to be any more ripped off than they already are.
