So nice to see this issue addressed! I recently received this exact chain message to which Burbie refer’s and I posted in the forums a message similar to this. Who and why would someone do this? I usually send a message back to whomever sent the chain message to me asking them if THEY have tried the scam. Inevitably I get back the, “Yes and it didn’t work,” message. Then I reply, please don’t spread this kind of useless gossip and lie then, cause these NEVER work! I feel like this does more good then simply deleting a friend, as it teaches them to be more thoughtful and cautious. Great article Burbie!

Sony did offer $10 for spending $60 in a month last year. But they sent you the message. I dont understand why peoples beleive Sony would need chain letters to pass info!

I’ve deleted people for sending me spam. I’m not easily offended by it though, in fact I warned the person who was sending this junk my way several times, which they ignored. So deletion was the only course of action.

Good idea about the spam folder Burbie, they should definitely make that happen.

It would seem to me that most of the people who send this crap out are being told to do so.
I never even read it.
I wonder if the people who leave the groups that tell them to do these things think about it when they leave those groups? Probably not.

Spam PM’s are so very reportable. The Moderators on PSN take this seriously. I have already told my friends ”Don’t EVEN send me this junk, Report it” So they know.

Thanks for the article, burbs
