I never responded and they never sent anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangyRV Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I have been receiving these messages as well. After ignoring it for the second time, I decided to reply the third, then he came with that "how old are you" bs. Every time using a new fresh profile.

Icebrand1270 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 4 this week for me! As if my week hasn't been bad enough elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellcrash1991 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 This happens more frequently than I thought actually. And one time I really thought it was a legit person. She started talking about what game she was currently playing, some details of the game itself and then, out of the blue.. "I'm bored, you wanna have some fun?". I was like... crap. I didn't reply after that. But I guess i'll just ignore and block those messages and profiles in the future instead of just deleting them. I don't want to lose the ability to get texted by someone who isn't a PSN friend. On 26-8-2017 at 5:06 AM, Shaowsintzu said: free passes huh! must be a concert you should go ?. Lol, you wanna join me to the concert? I heard she will let us go backstage too. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QrazorQ Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Also got one last week. I'm actually wondering what their goals are by making contact with us. To get some personal information from you like scamming? I always ignore them just like the rest of us here but it just made me curious what their reasons are behind this stuff.

Miles_Warren Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I've had my PSN profile since late 2013 when the PS4 was released and never received a random message until a few months ago. Somebody messaged me out of the blue and told me they were bored and found my profile and wanted to chat. I ignored the message. This morning I received another message that simply said "hi". I also ignored it. I am 100% convinced that these messages are from people lurking on this website. Since I started posting on these forums properly back in April I have received those messages as well as countless friend requests from people I do not know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmland12 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I got a couple of these in the last week as well. Lvl 1, no trophies, default avatar. I don't recall getting any spammy messages like this before (and haven't changed any settings or added friends in a few months), so I guess whoever's doing this is getting better at finding accounts.

BlueBerry_1337 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Me and some of my friends have also received these msgs!!! If these are being sent by bots then what's the point, what do they want???? (I nor my friends have not replied to them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoey_666 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Also got two in the last week. I just blocked them and the thing was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrockrobot98 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Oh my God, I got one of these a couple weeks ago. I temporarily thought it was an actual person until I looked at the bot's profile. I'll probably go back and block the account now that I know.

Bloodytears1666 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Somebody should sacrifice themselves and watch this private show and then share it with us.

RangyRV Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 These messages are getting weird now. I have been receiving these even on my accounts with privacy settings set to max, I even have blocked messages from everyone. But somehow I keep receiving this.

DamagingRob Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 @ProfBambam55 LOL. I actually got a friend request from her today, too(messages are blocked, so she went that route). I know better than to accept random friend requests, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDavidson Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 @ProfBambam55 Thanks for the lolz I got a couple of these lately. At first I replied with song lyrics but then I thought I put too much effort into it and just blocked that shit. Interestingly enuff I got a friend request today saying this is blah blah, be my friend (stating the same ID the FR came from, it usually mentions the old ID if one of my friends makes a new one). Then I get a blank msg from it. It was a lvl 1 / 0 trophy acct so I blocked it. It might be a new tactic so watch out everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alantor32 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I keep getting these spambot messages when that spambot messaged me the first time. It's getting out of hand, so now I set my privacy to have friends message me only. Will that help for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locutus442 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) I've got those messages too. Haven't got one lately on my main account, but if I check my alts, I bet there will be those messages waiting for me. Edit: just checked my alts, none of them on the first one, one on my jp alt, and 2 on my eu alt. Edited September 3, 2017 by locutus442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
