Modded Money

[XxBatman99xX]

A modder gave me about $600000 and I am wondering what I need to do because I don't want to get banned. Can I spend it or do I need to make sure I always have above 600k?

EDIT: I just realized this isn't the right forum but I can't find out how to delete it.

I was obviously misinformed, nevermind Listen to Gaffa and the Support article, then

You don't have to worry or do anything, the Rockstar Support article details everything you need to know. 

 

Notable sections:

 

Question: I was minding my own business and suddenly received a huge amount of money in GTA Online from a cheater. Am I in trouble?


Answer: To keep the gameplay environment as fair as possible for legitimate players, we routinely do sweeps to separate out cheaters and modders, and to reverse any illegitimate transactions. These sweeps are based on in-game automated detection, examination of suspicious gameplay statistics, and also manually-reviewed evidence submitted by the Community. If you were not engaged in any willful cheating or exploiting yourself, you do not need to worry about getting caught up in our work to separate out cheaters from the rest of the population.

 

Question: Do I need to report to Rockstar Games the fact that I was given a huge amount of modded money I didn’t want?


Answer: No, you do not need to report this. We are able to tell the difference, automatically through gameplay data, between the cheaters and the players who received this money innocently. Players who were willingly cheating are notified about any action taken against their account. If you were not cheating, you do not need to do anything further.

 

Question: Are you able to remove the money given to me by a modder if I contact you directly? Should I just wait for the community-wide adjustment?


Answer: We are unable to accept individual requests for GTA$ removal. However, we will be making adjustments to account balances for any players in possession of illegitimate funds.

 

Question: Regarding the account balance adjustments, what if I already spent some or all of the money I was given by cheaters? Or what if I transferred it to a second temporary character?


Answer: We have taken all of these factors into account when making account balance adjustments. If you already spent some or all of the modded money you were given, you may find that your account balance after adjustment is lower than it was before you received the counterfeit money. This is correct as you will be allowed to keep the items you bought.

 

As an aside, I've known people to contact Rockstar Support and asked them to remove their modded money, only to find in later months that all their money gets removed - both legitimate and illegitimate earnings - with no way of recovering the legit earnings.

that system dont track nothing on your account if you dont get millions per day in cash drops and most importantly keep quiet, do you report every dollar bill you see on ground to IRS as well, over-reporting and snitching results in all money delete "punishment" so learn to stay quiet

In total my main account received about 500k over these almost 2 years, especially when they used the direct injection last year while you were hanging in the clouds.

 

I reported those amounts to get them removed, never seen those money wipes they always talk about. Anyway due to Sharkcards, regular earnings and a bunch of money gifts, tax refunds and whatnot from R* I always had more than enough money to stay above that amount.
