PSN Chain Letters

post #1 of 32
Thread Starter 
Is anybody getting these things in their psn message box?

I received one that said if i sent the message to 20 of my friends i would get $20 for the psn store.

Do people actually believe these things? I know its pretty standard fare to receive these things in my computer email but c'mon...on the ps3? Is nothing sacred...

Please dont perpetuate this crap.

If I ever got something like that I would delete that person from my friends list immediatly.

People can send you a message even if your not in their friends list. I can see the block function being used for random people alot in the future if this gets out of control.

I get them and the senders aren't on my Friends list... they're usually not even on my Player's Met list. The past 4 have been some nonsense about COD.

I received one this weekend regarding Modern Warfare 2. I'm looking at your friend, cruze!

They may not have to be on your friends list, but chances are, you're on their "Players Met" list.

They might as well be on your friends list, because they can send messages (and spam).

I've only gotten one. However, I've gotten numerous messages from people mass-sending complaints about chain letters.

random, I just got one last night. Guys gonna get deleted.
post #10 of 32
Yeah, I got one of these last week.

There are only two people I've ever deleted from my friends list. The first kept posting random evangelical BS. The second is the chain letter dummy.

Yep. I got one tonight from an AVSer. I deleted him from my friend list, and I'm considering outing him as a fool.

I'm starting to get really sick of all the damn messages I'm getting period. Not just the chain ones. Tons of people wanting to be on my friends list, because they think that I'm some Anthony that they know personally, or something. There is more than one Anthony in the world, lol. I get alot of weird nonsense ones too. It's quite strange.

You should turn this into a contest, could be a lot of fun!

I got 2 about the stupid 20 friends/20 dollars on PSN. I still need to remove them because,
1.) If you send me stupid bullcrap, I dislike you
2.) If you believe that kind of crap, you are an idiot and I dislike you

Honestly I don't know why people think this kind of stuff is true, and of course the 2 "friends" that sent me the message were random requests (I assumed they were from one of the forums I frequent and so I allowed it). I hate people sometimes .

The best part is when the messages say something like: "Sony is watching message traffic to keep track of how many people you send this message to."

I got one for the $20 psn card and one for a cod mw2 beta.

You'd be amazed how stupid people are. Anyone use Facebook? It's astonishing how many people I see (people I thought were intelligent individuals) change their status to "Facebook is deleting accounts to clear out unused accounts. Copy and past this message into your status to show that you are still an active user". The world has gone stupid, that's the sad truth of things.

Hate to say it, but you're right. Rather, people haven't kept up with progress. I bet there's a good bunch that think electronics are actual magic boxes.

The cynic in me thinks were doomed as a species. The smart ones are creating methods for the dumb ones to take us all out.

I've never gotten one, but this ^ would be my response also

Man I've gotten some odd ones. People complaining that Halo wasn't on the PS3 from COD4 whiners about maps and a few about ps3 reliability not being well...reliable. Drives me nuts.
post #21 of 32
i got one from a random person not on my friend's list. They wanted everyone to not play COD4 on a certain day, in order to boycott the MW2 timed exclusive 360 DLC maps. lol

i actually got it twice from the same psn id. the second time I figured out how to block them.

The COD one that i received said send it to 50 friends to get access to a beta. 50 friends? I guess i'm just not that popular.....
post #23 of 32
If there's any justice, these same fools sending out "If you send this to 50 people, you'll get into the MAG Beta because Sony is monitoring the PSN Mail" will fall for the "Hi, this is PSN, we need you to verify your password and credit card number. Please forward them to us, BUT DON'T CALL US."
post #24 of 32
I have a chain letter pic that I send back to those on my friends list that send me chain letters. It says something along the lines of "Forward this to 10 of your friends and absolutely NOTHING will happen!! It really works!! I tried it TWICE and it worked BOTH times!! This is legit!!"
post #25 of 32
You mean to tell me I won't be getting my $20 PSN card???

I'm calling Sony!!!!





sarcasm intended
