    So I just go onto the store seeing if new deals are up and for some reason 69.99euro was put on my account, I never done anything nor did I get a confirmation of payment recieved how did this happen? Did sony just give me 69.99euro for free?

    :confused:

    In one mind to just spend it all before it disappears..

    Did you buy anything on the store last month? They had a promo for every 50 spent they will give you 10 in april or something like that?

    Yeah I did but im not sure if I spend 50euro ... Definately didn't spend 350euro ... Is it safe to just buy something on the store if it is Sony's fault?.. Nothing through to emails about it being topped up either

    Has to have come from somewhere, were you hacked or something?

    I don't think so, the cards and stuff on my account are empty too AFAIK although my girlfriends was primary so hopefully it wasn't from her account... If it was due to a hack is it possible to get refunded? My password wasn't changed or nothing so weird...

    Also it couldnt have been topped up by 69.99euro exactly without buying something I assume it goes to 70euro when your adding wallet, I had 0.00euro in it yesterday... So could hardly be a hack, maybe Sony just made a mistake :confused:

    Just check all cards associated with your account and confirm that none of them have been debited with the transaction.

    Assuming that then spend away, but expect someone from Sony to notice at some point in the future and remove your purchase or expect you to pay.

    Have you got 2 step verification set up?

    Any sub accounts tied to your account?

    Pre order something that got cancelled maybe?

    Very strange...

    Yep, don't know why they just refund though... I believe I still get to keep The Stick of Truth for free though as it is still in my library... Whereas Fractured Buttwhole is not...
