Why does users make many accounts on PsN
What is the reason ? Does anybody knows why do people make many accounts for PSN?
Recently i had an email writing that i registered on PSN successfully , and i didnt.
Should i contact sony , and what could be possible inconvenience...

hmm im mad at sony, why they don't have email activation for accounts ! Burning

RE: Why does users make many accounts on PsN
one  account for each region
different games are in some regions and not in others

but the email
it maybe a sPa/\/\ message, using fake header info it make it look real, but it for stealing info, there are many many many sPa/\/\ emails like that
PSP 1.5 got on USA first day is was 1.5 till  Xmas 2006 now 4.01 M33 » 5.00 M33-6(with the 1.50 addon)
It a good idea to have "Hide extensions  for known file types" in Folder Options(under Tool) unchecked (turn on extensions)
READ THE README.TXT

I can see that as a very probable answer as well (regarding with what“it” is
)

You could check the header data to see if it is from Sony.

That's it. See if you can find the exact IP it came from. It looks like it came from Sony, but there are ways to send spoofed emails.

RE: Why does users make many accounts on PsN
If the name/address details are accurate, then it's likely authentic as phishers typically can't get this information easily.  Also phishers probably don't have any reason to send you an 'account created' email.

Could've just been a mistake.
