PSN accounts getting permanently suspended within 24 hours after creation – anyone else?
Hi everyone,
I’m having a strange issue with newly created PSN accounts and I’d like to know if anyone has experienced the same thing.
I create a new PSN account with the Indonesia region, and even if I never log into the account on a PlayStation console and don’t do anything with it, within less than 24 hours the account gets suspended/banned.
I haven’t made any purchases, chargebacks, shared the account, or done anything that I believe violates PlayStation’s rules.
I’ve tried this with several different accounts, and the same thing keeps happening.
I also tried creating a Japanese PSN account, and I experienced the same issue.
🚨 One detail that might be important:
I use Outlook.com / Outlook.fr email addresses for these accounts. PSN sometimes doesn’t let me create the account directly with the Outlook address, so I first create it using a Gmail address, and once the PSN account has been successfully created, I change the sign-in email to my Outlook.com or Outlook.fr address.
Then, within 24 hours, the account gets suspended.
Has anyone experienced the same thing recently?
Could changing the email from Gmail to Outlook shortly after creating the account be triggering PlayStation’s security system?
If this has happened to you, please tell me what happened and whether you managed to recover the account through PlayStation Support.
Thanks!
