Beware of the Home Beta Injector scam

21
PS3fanboy reports:

We want to nip this one before it becomes a widespread problem. A program calling itself the "Home Beta Injector" will supposedly generate a redemption code for the Home beta by simply inputting a valid PSN e-mail address and password.

Sound too good to be true? Of course it is. The PlayStation team will NEVER ask for your password. Your password isn't used to generate codes for use on the PLAYSTATION Store. Instead, giving up your password means you're granting a stranger total access to your account, personal information and credit card. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM.

If you've already given away your information, we recommend you contact PlayStation support. SCEA Legal is already trying to make sure this scam doesn't spread any further.

1 - I can't believe people actually fall for this.
What a sad society we are becoming when we can't tell the difference between a scam and a hoax.

Only the people really desperate for home fell for this one. They probably searched and searched for anyway possible to get into home until they ran into this scam.

Yeah but think about it. People are already hyped for Home, so once they see it's linked to Home they won't hesitate a moment and give them what they need.
It's just bait for the fishes...

it's bad enough that scammers try us with fake bank websites but now they are trying to get our money through another medium of the industry. Sony really should prosecute these scammers with this and then.those people are just a sad bunch of low lifes, get a job

7 - Idiots
I saw someone doing this on you tube while I was in home... I was thinking it seemed weird to enter an email address. I couldn't see the screen, so i didnt pay too much attention to it.

Now I know the people doing it are screwed... LOL
