Hello fellow MyLot members. Recently, I've been accused of stealing. Let me tell you the story. Have you heard of the PlayStation Network for the Playstation? It's kind of like a virtual store where you can buy games and game add-on content. Well, recently, my cousin accused me of stealing ten dollars from his playstation network account, when I never did. See, he thought I got into his account from my PS3, because he put it on there. Well, I didn't want it to take up storage, so shortly after he left, I deleted it from my ps3, cutting off any way I could get in to his account. He also gave it to his best friend. About a week ago, they got in a pretty bad fight. They made up about a day later, and apologized. Now, this is where he thinks I did it. Since his best friend had his account for that one day, he probably spent the money and bought add-ons for a game he didn't have, but that I had. This made my cousin believe that I did it, and not his friend. I asked his friend to tell the truth, but, of course, he denies everything. What should I do? I am not the kind of person to go stealing money. Please, fellow MyLotters, help me.

Something doesn't sound right, why would his best friend set you up like that, maybe he spent the money on the add-on thinking to buy the game later or maybe your cousin spent it himself. Couldn't you have him check the receipt or get in touch with the company to find out the IP address that the sale was made to. I'm not that good with computers but even I would look to the receipt and the company who sent it to me to try and work this out before I accused anyone of stealing. I would ask your cousin to look into it more before he blamed anyone.

I completely understand why you are feeling bad about this. Tell you cousin that you did not do anything like that and that you are not capabale of stealing money from him and he should trust you that you have never done something like what he is telling you! If he does not accept then it is his problem. i always think that they (our cousins, friends) should know us better than to judge us immediately when all he does is log in to anyone's and access his account. that alone makes him vulnerable and who knows where else could he have logged his account to. so there are many other possible person who might have stolen from him. so go tell him to be careful when logging in next time!

How sad it is to be accused of something you did not do, and especially, stealing! In this situation maybe you could do the following to defend yourself somehow:
1. Is there a way of checking the account and the transactions made in your cousin's account? like the date and amount transacted? If there is, this will tell him/you who made the transaction for that particular day, right?
2. Talk to your cousin about this. Tell him sincerely that it is not in your nature to steal.
3. Tell him that for that small amount or any amount, you would not dare to ruin your relationship with your cousin.
I hope you can clear this matter immediately. Good luck!

let your cousin calm down first and then you tell him. if he persist, ask him for proof because he can't accuse anyone like his.
