A scammer is trying to get my ps5 console banned! Please help!
Hi fellow redditors!
I just bought my ps5 a few months ago and I am new to the console world. So, two days ago, a guy tried to scam me by offering to sell me his psn account by changing his email id linked to the psn account to my email id. I wasnt aware of any terms of service violations, was naive, so I gave in. He showcased his psn id to me by letting me log into it for a while via qr code, and I checked and all the games were legit. But the scam happened when I paid him partly, and he blocked me and deleted all the chats and everything (on telegram). Now this guy is bothering me after a day, saying that he is gonna get my ps5 console banned (he maybe has my device id from when he logged into), and sent me a screenshot of him trying to contact the support. I know what I did is wrong, and i wanna be better from now on, and never promote piracy, but I am seriously worried that my device is gonna get banned. Can you guys let me know if its really possible? Will my console become useless?
