[Phantom_Ghost]

OK, my psn name is Phantom_Ghost and has been since ps3 launch.. Last year I got like 4 or so random friend requests form people saying "hey Phantom its me" "add me I'm (random psn)'s friend"  and so on, at first I figure maybe its a similar name to my psn, but Phantom_Ghost is pretty specific.. Well I ask the people and they really never explain.

I say this now because not too long ago some person messages me and says "Get Off My Account" 

well I'm 100% sure I'm not on anyone else account since I made this one back around launch date, and plus I still have my original ps3 on top of my dresser, I have the original 60gig and a slim, so I don't quite understand. This just baffles me, and I wouldn't like the person to like try and contact Sony and say I'm using they're account, and get my account banned or something when I'm positive its my own.. Can anyone offer some sorta insight on this situation, thanks!

• Based on your claims.
  
  • You created this account
  • You hold control [access, usage, etc]  on account "Phantom_Ghost"

Then pay no attention to these people.

As you can tell, in PSN I'm Xuchilbara. I hold control over this account. Well, month later, after creating the account, I started to get plenty of messages on the XMB.

Some of these messages were:

• from fellow Silent Hill fans who also wanted to use "Xuchilbara" but tried to late. I helped some to come up with original nicks and/or reminded them of other Silent Hill characters.
• from fellow Silent Hill fans who also wanted to use "Xuchilbara" but given that they couldn't, they tried to get the best of me. I'm It, they can't get the best of me. [ignored]
• Some of these messages are from people who I guess can't remember their friend's PSN's ID number sequence or whatever [e.g. Xuchilbara####] so they just PM me "Xuchilbara" telling me all their business. [these are funny for they don't know me yet here I'm given these personal informations]

---------What have I done about it--

lol nice, i quite enjoyed reading your rersponse, but yeah, i pretty much have ignored them, it was just odd to have these people messaging me saying they are my friend or friend of a friend. it makes me curious as to who else thought of the name Phantom_Ghost, to be honest i have used this name way before playstaion 3 in forums and just as a entertainer name lol.

the real reason i bought it up was from my concern over that person who contacted me over a year later telling me to get off his account, me knowing i have owned this account for so long, i was just curious as to if the person could get my account taken down or some crap.. that'd really be lame

but yeah thanks, i'll just continue to ignore

"the real reason i bought it up was from my concern over that person who contacted me over a year later telling me to get off his account"

Surely it was someone who was hoping to create an account as "Phantom_Ghost".

Thanks for the Kudos!
