So Rockstar just took pretty much all of my money.

[joao_inca]

Hahaha, just take a look at this Rockstar dickrider on r/GrandTheftAutoV who commented on someone's screenshot of his 8 million being removed.

 

Notice how he ranted about the extreme scenario of OP being a liar who actually had modded money and did this to get sympathized? Notice how he bitched and moaned about people not liking Rockstar for every single thing they do?

 

Now, take a look at when he starts talking about the chance of OP being honest about his removed cash being removed. It's an indirect way of saying "no biggie, Rockstar makes a few mistakes every now and then." like all apologists do.

 

I hope Rockstar reduces his bank account to 100K just so this sh*tty behavior of his bites him in the ass.

 

this subreddit/post is filled with Rockstar dickriders

And how would you know the difference between if it's someone innocent saying they hadn't cheated?

 

I take rs algorithms as 99% false trigger proof, because of how many exploiters gets away. Also neither me or my trusted friends got affected with both ban tsunami and this sweap, which pretty much convincing me I am right. Well, may be this event not over yet, since I got injected by 40k once, also stepped on some alien eggs, but my funds weren't corrected so far.

PS love that support article update, they made a day before this wipe, they knew exactly whats gonna happen.

[Fennimoe]

I don't understand R* at all.

 

Here is a story that will absolutely make you think they are ass backwards, even more than they already are..

 

I have a friend on PS4 who transferred with modded $ (billions), months before the transfer cut off date. He immediately went on a spending spree and bought literally everything he possibly could. Office, Yacht, Garages, Vehicles, and EVERY PEGASUS VEHICLE. He was set. His money didn't even get touched...

 

One day, less than a month before the transfer cut off date, he logged on to see a screen stating his billions of dollars were taken from him. However, his character and rank were the same. He was left with a measly $25,000. He was discouraged, but kept playing because of all his toys.

 

One day, he said he wanted to quit because he had no money (he only played free roam warrior), and I told him to do missions and such to get a small bank to pay for his bills and such. He made a few hundred thousand dollars doing the first heist a few times, and seemed happy.

 

I didn't talk to him for a bit, but one day, after the transfer cut off date, he joined my lobby saying that R* gave him close to $20mil. I was like, "WHAT!?"

 

Apparently, when the transfer cut off happened, the returning player bonus vehicles became free, and people were getting refunds (we all know that). He was included in the refunds. Because of all the damn Marshalls he bought, his refund was HUGE!

 

**(Tl;Dr)** So, R* took his modded $, then gave him refund $ back for the vehicles that became free, that he literally bought with modded $.

 

R* Logic at its finest.

after a long tour in the support.they only answer "oh check this page" which basically tells you that you cheated somehow.some people started talking that it's about total earned and total spent.and if it doesn't match and stuff like that and that everytime you get money,it's signaled to Rockstar and so they know the non-legit money.but still a lot of people are saying they didn't do anything "illegal".honestly all my money is legit and i am still waiting for 122k from Rockstar because of a bug during crates sale.if they end up f*cking my account.gonna super pissed

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

To the unfortunate players that have been stung did they go after bank balance or cash? I stash my $$$$$ on my second character i never bank large sums, wondering if maybe this could help in anyway?

[jyssys]

It's kinda brilliant that they do this RIGHT before a new, probably very expensive update is going to roll out.

To get a proper reply from R* Support, you need to keep on asking for it, or request a supervisor. Those Support Tier 1's are scrubz.

I actually still have an open ticket from monday where I lost 460k during a bunker sale when Rockstar Services became unavailable and the Transfer didn't register (lost all Products as well). But I'd rather have them solve the 8m issue first. I also haven't played today to add as few transactions and other data as possible

[TheGuyBehindYou]

I've spent way too long trying to make online a better place for legit players by reporting (in 3 years I've reported atleast a few hundred people, if not a thousand) , recording, screenshoting modders and cheaters, only to be treated like a cheater both by rockstar and people from reddit. Getting really fed up with all this.

[PettyTheftCandy]

I did get <$1m from a modder when I just started playing and R* FINALLY took it away today after 2+ years.

 

I'm sure there are some people who lost legit money but I'm also sure there are ones that got millions from bag drops, spent it all, forgot about it, and now think their "earned money" is being taken away.

[HaRdSTyLe_83]

Wtf is going on? I am on PS4, and just logged on and received $1.5mil... I am rightly confused

Money roulette

[JAYACH]

I got some modded money (came up as some CEO sh*t, no way of stopping this) the other week. I got around 1.1 million modded, and Rockstar removed it (Something like 1.1 then a load of random numbers million). Not particularly bothered, It was inevitable. Sucks that people have lost money that they've grinded and lost unjustly. I'm just lucky that I had some dust-collecting cars to sell.

 

Edit: Weirdly I was left with EXACTLY 250k. Weird.

also in that page they do say that money from shark cards won't be touched during removal.so i guess that doesn't count

just to know mate,what type of earnings?

[nmk111]

-21 mil today, all legit.

[Kushology]

PC mustardrice.

 

Kidding aside, sorry to hear of your guys' loss, despite being legitimate funds.

 

Sh*t's really f*cked up.

 

Could've happened to anyone regardless of hardware, I know. I shouldn't have made that joke. Just seems to be mostly common on PC right now.

 

I've heard of them focusing on one platform at a time.

Edited August 25, 2017 by Kushology

[Pedinhuh]

They seem to not know what they're doing right now. I think I'll open a support ticket and claim that I had 34 million removed, even though it's a lie. Just to see if they actually take the bait.

I admit I have been thinking about doing this for a while...

[SantasLittleHelper]

I lost about $100M. But R* let me have about $62M. So it's not that big of a problem.

[HipHopHead]

Yep, the more I read this the more afraid I am of logging in tonight. lol

 

I had about 80 mil (55 left) of duped car money from the dart board glitch last winter.

Most interesting is the last one, it was added with Gunrunning so tracking ppl who did the DM glitch isn't hard.

Poll has ~40% of the respondents not being affected, the title will draw in those who are affected so I'd guess a majority of people haven't been affected.

[Br0SKi666]

They took from me 10 mils.

Still got 99mils more but its so annoying that I was grinding that shiet for a 3 weeks and they just erase it like that. Last time the f*cking modder gave me cash was like 5 months ago and it was 170k.

R* can't do math 170k =/= 10mils

[SHADOW OPS]

Nothing taken from me.

 

Knocks on wood...

[CmdNomad]

 

Wrote them a Support Ticket:

 

Hi,
is it possible to get a >>detailed logfile<< of all my income in GTA Online during the last months?
Before the last DLC R* removed 5.7mio $ from my Account which was fair because a Script Kiddy dropped it on me without me asking for it. So i didn't complain about it.
Notice its an nice and even Sum.

 

Today R* removed 3.127.144$ from my account. (Screen below)
I can#t remember any new incident in which case i got money forced on me.
I also wonder how on earth i should have got such an uneven sum?

 

The only thing i can remember is that i got multiple rejected payments from Bunker Sales in the last weeks, which i reported via Ticket.
Unfortunatly i was asked to provide a Video which i could not since the RockstarCapturingSoftware didn't record the GUI/Transaction/Error Window. All i had was a couple of Screenshots so the Ticket was closed.

Please don't simply link me to the Q/A or the guidelines in regards of cheated money. I know all that.

 

I wan't to know when i got that money exactly.

 

 

Of course they just send me the usual Q/A Link and closed the ticket, so i answered via Mail and now its open again.

[CarimboHanky]

 

is this a redistribution of wealth?

Nah, they're taking the legitimate money of people who worked hard to earn it and are ignoring, as well as rewarding, the obvious modded account who cause havoc by griefing everyone anywhere they go.

 

The proper term for this scenario would be late stage capitalism.

b...but my account is not modded!

Interest and extra interest of course. Duh.

[Zader]

Very curiously, I attempted to log in and waited too long, loading into singleplayer instead.

Michael's balance was about 6.6m after whatever I'd done, and then it was all deducted and his flight skill instantaneously maxed to 100.

I haven't gotten it to repeat yet, but I'm wondering if it could somehow be related.

[Gaffa]

Thanks Fun, yeah I first noticed it with the CEO crate work, did six million worth of sales from three large warehouses, and it hadn't registered.

 

I reported modded money back in 2015, it never got removed until late in 2016, where they removed everything - even legit earnings.

 

This company wants you to lose in their game.
