I just got a message from a recent player with an xxxx-xxxx-xxxx code that he said was worth $50 dollars. I went to the PSN store, and it's valid, and says the following: 
 
"This PlayStation Network Card has a value of $50.00. Do you want to add these funds to your wallet?"
 
I haven't accepted the funds, and have stayed on the menu with the Yes, No options available. 
 
There's a reason I'm not going to share the code here, and that reason is hackers. I'm too scared to put the card onto my account in fear of either having information stolen from me or getting banned, which I read about the other day. 
 
Does anyone have any input? This seems very strange. 

I got the same message but I didn't put the code in.

Who's the user who sent you the message? I'd like to try out one of them codes.

Just accept it. You can say you accidentally chose the wrong one because your screen froze or something.

" @NekuSakuraba: It's definitely a valid number, as it's showing up before the confirmation screen. There's no way I'm adding it to my account, though. Did your message say something about PlayStation's anniversary? "

You could make a new account without any personal info on it and test the code. 

" I got the same message but I didn't put the code in. "

Yea give me any codes you don't want lol.

" @Mikewrestler5:  @Zella:  @Zajtalan:  @Mikewrestler5: There's something you're not understanding about the hacking war that's going on, aimed at Sony. Apparently, the hackers have found a way to un-ban themselves, and can ban others if they get certain information about your account or PlayStation. It seems odd that something like this would happen right after that news was announced. I'll look for the story now. "

I got that message too. It's already been used, but the confirmation message still pops up. It's just a chain letter, ignore it. I'll post the code
 

" @Mikewrestler5: I'd be worried about getting my console ID found out or whatever, but it looks like Snapstacle just confirmed it doesn't work anyways.  "

Yep. And I used it on an ID that isn't tied to my PS3 either just for safety's sake. ;) "

Oh boy.

Yeah, good luck with showing up as a new account begging for things.

O yeah this totally works. Seriously man cmon.

Weird...

How could they get any info on you from you using the code through PSN tho?

I recently got 30 bucks from PSN from their "for every 60 dollars you spend we give you 10 dollars back" deal or whatever it was exactly. You sure it isnt that?

zombie thread!

oh wtf... should of looked at the date.... thanks...

Locking, since this old-ass topic is just being bumped by begging or spambots.
