Sharing PS3 Account Against My Will

   I first purchased a PS3 about 2 months ago and I ended up returning it and purchasing a new one. There wasn't anything wrong with the unit, I only returned it so I could purchase another one from a store where my brother works (employee discount). Anyway, upon returning my first system I overheard the clerks talking to each other just as I was leaving the store. The jist of it was that since there wasn't anything wrong with the system they were going to put it back on the shelf for sale. I didn't think anything of this at the time, but if they failed to wipe my HD clean prior to this I could have a serious problem. I already had a PS3 network account created and my setting were such that my password and e-mail were saved for easy sign-in capability. Basically, I think someone purchased my old system and is now using MY account rather than create their own.

   I've continued to use my previous account on my new system for over a month without incident, but just recently I started experiencing problems with my connection while playing Resistance: Fall of Man online. I dismissed it as router or other network issues, but it's apparent now that it's something more. Today I'm unable to sign into my account. I receive an error stating something to the effect of: "unable to resolve account" or something like that.

   I reluctantly created a new account to put a stop to this problem, but I'm still upset that some bastard is freeloading on my account. The only reason I even care is because I spent so much time leveling up my profile on Resistance and now it's been taken from me. I suppose it's still possible for me to use my account when Mr. (or Mrs.) Freeloader isn't using it, but what a crock of $h1t that would be.

   If anyone sees ThE_MiLkMaN_ online tell him/her to get their own damn account!

Today I managed to sign on to my old account and I promptly changed my password. I hope that resolves the issue.

Er..

hang on here, ive heard of a story of a mother buying a PSP for her son and found porn on the memory stick, they blame the store.. NOT the person whoever sold the memory card or w/e to the store.
