ME3 player banned for spending money in multiplayer
www.qj.net
Earlier this week a user on the EA forums known as Semtex Jack had put up a notification that his account had been banned from the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer mode for "suspected credit hacking." Apparently during the game Jack had acquired millions of credits after playing in a multiplayer match but didn't know how or why he got them. He then bought heaps of in-game items including spectre boxes with magical cash. Jack logged in the next day only to receive a note from EA saying " This account is invalid."
Help was on it's way in the form of Senior Marketing Manager Jarrett Lee who was responded to Jack's problem with a live team to help him get back to shooting dudes in multiplayer quicksmart. However, after some data checking, Lee came back with, “Jack – unfortunately the data analysis on your account does not entirely support your story. I’ll leave it at that and not make this awkward. I've got your case being looked at and it’s being escalated, but I’ll step out of this situation now because it’s not really my territory."
You can actually see the whole conversation between Bioware and Jack here.

But who do you think was in the wrong? What happened with Jack's account? For all you ME3 players out there, have you heard of similar stories?

I agree. Only a fool shoots himself in the foot.

I have run into some people online who may be stupid enough to actually do that. That being said, this would still be a pretty stupid move.
Re: ME3 player banned for spending money in multiplayer
Sounds like a double bluff to me, I reckon he modded his credits then realised his game was screwed through the ban and had to think fast. By raising the issue himself everyone will always come to the ''why would he speak up'' conclusion thus making him look innocent.
Maybe he is just an innocent victim of someone else's hacking but I highly doubt it personally
