CAGiversary!
My apologies if this in the wrong section, I wasn't really sure where this post fits on the forums. But CAGs, I have a problem. I was checking out my credit card receipt for something else when I noticed a charge on my credit card for July 5th for $150 attributed to "ps3shop info@ps3-shop". I do own a PS3, but aside from the purchase of the system at Gamestop back in May, I have not spent $150 on anything PS3 related. Is this the charge line for the Playstation Store? I certainly did not spend $150 when I downloaded Super Stardust HD right around that date (and I don't have like $142 sitting in my Playstation Store Wallet or something). More ominously, when I google "ps3shop" the most prominent result that comes up is a Russian website...has the Russian mob snatched my credit card? Fortunately this is the only fishy charge right now, so maybe Sony just screwed up and overbilled me or something, but I need to know where this charge came from. Any CAGs have a similar line on their credit cards? Thanks.
 
Best thing to do is call your credit card, tell them the charge was unauthorized and you want to dispute the charge. Might want to get another card, cause that site probably now has your card number.
 
Ha! Sorry for the waste of space, CAGs, but after a little investigating, I discovered that the date of the charge was also the date I invested $150 into my Full Tilt Poker account. Why it's billed as "ps3shop", I don't know, I assume it has something to do with the shady legal status of online poker. I just wasn't thinking outside of the ps3-box when trying to think what I'd spent $150 on.

It's not really shady.. its straight-up illegal.

However, I do frequently enjoy online gambling myself.
