here are numerous reports flowing in about how users are seeing transactions being made even when they never opted for it in the first place, with one user even complaining that he received notifications of transactions being made via his PSN account even when his console was switched off.
While a number of users have already started scribbling similar issues related to their personal PSN accounts, it seems like the problems are originating with respect to FIFA 14’s trading cards.
Accordingly, when a user complained that $135 was added to his wallet funds in 2 minutes randomly and without his consent, another user explained: “Yeah looks like someone got a hold of your password. This happened to me on my 360. And of course it was also because of Fifa. That game is behind a large quantity of these unauthorized charges.”
“All because of the trading cards or whatever it is in the game that you can buy with real money. Change password to something really complex, don't use it anywhere else and maybe even change the email associated if you can,” he added.
Another user, although on a different console, also complained: “Something similar happened to me on Xbox 360, was charged $135 and they bought FIFA and season pass and c**p. Microsoft cleared it all but it took 3 weeks and they temporarily closed my account during their investigation.”
However, it was revealed via the same thread that, apparently, someone tried to get a more solid answer from Sony to know exactly what was going on. The user stated that he was on phone with a PSN rep and would get refunded in 5-7 business days
Fifa 14 eh? Maybe EA has something to do with it, they like taking people money.
But seriously, I don't see the point of hacking into someones account, and charging that account something only that account can access.
