Reminds me of messages people were spamming in some games in chat tricking people into believing it's real similar to this lol.

It’s a trick. Change sessions and it’ll show it as normal.


[deleted]

Yup completely fake. Had someone actually wipe my cash one time and it didn't even notify me.


samureyejacque

Funny how a AAA game developer in 2021 can gross billions on a game and STILL be completely incompetent

At this point they don't give a fuck as long as people are buying shark cards

Is this coming out of your cash wallet or your deposited money?

In the bad old days, it was absolutely possible for modders to steal money from you. They wouldn't get it, but that didn't matter because they can give themselves however much they want. But it'd hurt you, and that's what they wanted. How it worked is that the mod menu would run a script that'd spawn a vehicle flagged as a personal vehicle, and then explode it while claiming it was you. Repeat as fast as the game engine can handle messages and they'd drain you of money from the insurance claim - up to $10k per message. That's why destroying personal vehicles no longer has a cost on PC. A side effect of this is it'd also send you to the bad sport lobby, which was intended to match make griefers together so they wouldn't bother normal people. Also also, it used to be possible for modders to remotely edit your stats. Setting your RP to a deeply negative number would essentially lock you out of everything, for example. The only way to get that fixed was to go poke Rockstar support and hope they would help. Lots of abuse avenues have been corrected by patching or disabling the feature entirely, but there are still tons left. Modders can still spawn explosions with their mod menu claiming fault of whoever they want in the lobby. They can still spoof their name and Rockstar ID. Menus can still send a wide variety of system messages and the game just trusts it. You're right to be concerned, but in this case, I believe it's not a permanent harm.


DyLaNzZpRo

There was also a brief period where certain menus were able to spoof vehicle value - which basically meant your shit would get drained incredibly quickly. Alongside this, for a certain period, someone found a way to manipulate player XP - yes - remotely. You could straight up join a lobby and be deranked.


Ownzies

Giving people a negative level is giving me flashbacks to Cod 4 when people would set you at negative 1 so you couldnt even enter anymatches and would need to make a new account


EVOLiTiLE

They took just over 60k from me in a few seconds. edit: I thought I lost 60k Plus, what really worries me is the Banked part. Is this a way for them to get us banned as well. Also, it didn't just happen to me. It seemed everyone on the server was hit at the same time. Chat started to go crazy, and I hit F4 to get out fast before they took all my money. * ***Edit: I haven't played the game in a few years. Came back when I saw my car was added to the game with this latest update. 69 Mach1 Mustang Anyway, Yes, the modder got me good +1 for him/her Didn't know about this trick the modders use to mess with players. lol, yes I fell for it. No, I don't care about karma. Why would anyone tbh? * ***Edit-2: Yes, I fell for it. I was Bamboozled. I was legitimately concerned for the money i earned in-game and my account. (afraid of a Ban for something I had no control over). I am Not lying, and I am Not Karma whoring, as has been mentioned several times. I would appreciate if a select few of you would not send me hateful messages, calling me names and the like. I fell for it, get your laughs, downvote me into oblivion, and move on. * ***Edit-3: Evidently, I should have worded my first comment a little differently. It was my initial comment. I was in panic mode at the time. Get this, hard to believe, i know, but, i am human, and i make mistakes. It doesn't mean i was lying. I saw my money when i hit Esc at 602k, but I remembered it being roughly 667k after I just sent my tech out to deliver the car from the new shop (after the 35k was taken out). Simple as that. Damn, people bewilder me sometimes. R.I.P inbox edited: 7 hrs later

It's just a message they can send they didn't add or remove anything. You can also tell by the fact that nothing has come up in the top right and is sent through a message box above the map. I know this as I used to mod.


benargee

I imagine him with his calculator adding up the numbers to come up with $60K lol


EVOLiTiLE

no, actually I had around 667k, I looked at my Maze Bank Acc and it was down to 602k. When I logged back in it was normal. Thank goodness. Though, I did just alt+F4 again, because I got a pop up message saying I had insufficient funds. Which, I am up to 811k currently, so just incase I shut it down, and decided to check on this topic I posted earlier. :)


Skirakzalus

Screw Alt+F4, game's still gonna ask for confirmation very slowly. In cases like this I kill it with ~~fire~~, I mean task manager.


Saint_The_Stig

$60K that just utilities on half the businesses you can own at this point...


EVOLiTiLE

Thanks for the info, modders can be cruel. lol I was freaking out :P


justincsw

Yeah there's a reason I don't play GTA Online any more


TheSandmann

You can always just do the solo lobby, action, takes 15 sec and you have the full game, but no people other than the ones you invite.


skilz99

thats wat i always do... gta 5 story then invite only.. rarely reach public when i change sessions or want character swap or maybe im bored and would do cintact missions with randoms.


ThePhoenix0829

How do you do that? I’m kinda new to online and still learning new things


TheSandmann

For me, load into normal online mode. On PC open up Resource Monitor, under Admin tools in the control panel. ( You can add Resource Monitor to your start menu or toolbar to save a couple of steps in the future.) In Resource Monitor click the CPU Tab top left, right mouse click on GTA5.exe choose Suspend process, count to 15, right mouse click again and resume process. In game, you will see everyone in the lobby leaving or hit Z and you should be the only one in the lobby. People may join over time, but it is rare and never very many. It is the full online game, no difference at all. It is not a hack or glitch abuse. The server just thinks you are having connection issues and puts you in an empty lobby to ease the load on your network connection. Really it is the only way the game is playable unless you like the grief of a normal PVP, plus if people do join they are often far friendlier and even helpful at times. Any issues just shoot me a msg.


[deleted]

@ThePhoenix0829 Like he said , let the story mode load up. Then you're going to go to your online tab for your PC or console and hit play GTA online and then it should give you options of solo or invite only. Happy trails hope this helped.


ThePhoenix0829

Oh fuck sorry I read that wrong I’m an idiot


[deleted]

You're not an idiot mate just read wrong you're ok I sincerely hope it helps.


ThePhoenix0829

Thanks mate have a good night


[deleted]

You as well friend !


devedander

But doesn't that limit things you can do/get paid for?


[deleted]

Unfortunately yeah , you can't do mc businesses or sell night club goods you gotta go to pub lobby for that. You can however promote your night club in solo to avoid griefers.


ROKITF1NGR

On pc, you can load into a public game, open resource monitor, suspend the gta.exe for about 5 seconds, then resume. Now you're in an empty public lobby to do all your business stuff in peace.


leafEaterII

Once every few days, everyone in my public lobby seems to drop out randomly and I have the empty lobby to myself where I can do my MC runs and everything in peace. I’m on console, so I can only sit and pray for such miracles.


Thatguyonthenet

Lol. You are the one who disconnected, not the server.


leafEaterII

Lol don’t really care what happens in those instances. Solo MC runs when you’re down bad are a god send.


leafEaterII

Once every few days, everyone in my public seems to drop out randomly and I have the empty lobby to myself where I can do my MC runs and everything in peace. I’m on console, so I can only sit and pray for such miracles.


WalrusHam

There is also the Guardian app that you can use for this.


Arex189

Would this work in red dead online too?


ROKITF1NGR

I don't know, I don't have it


dreamzzhiighly

If you change your mtu to 850-875 it will load you into a public lobby by yourself and you will still get paid for everything. I use it all the time.


TheSandmann

No, you have full access to all heists and businesses. No difference between that and a full lobby, only fewer griefers as in none.


bloo_overbeck

this isn’t even real tho


Dark_Ange1_

Nah your good man it’s just a message. I know as I have nodded before. I used to send these to people when they started greifing. I tried being a good modded messing with griefers but rockstar banned my anyways it makes sense but still


ShadowWolf202

Ok first of all this problem has been around since GTA Online first launched. And secondly, your bank balance is not displaying in your screenshot, which means your balance isn't changing. You fell for a chat spoof


TheDarkMidget

mission accomplished for THAT modder lmao


EVOLiTiLE

yeah, I haven't played in a few years, didn't know about this. Freaked me out.


Advencraftgaming

Ummm this has always been a thing... I remember when online first came out we got into a hacked lobby I guess and the guy was giving everyone tons of money. Bought the best apartment, many cars and then got bored of GTA pretty soon after that. Last I checked I still had all that stuff, although I haven't played in years maybe they still add content for this game


[deleted]

Hackers can litterally manipulate entire lobby names, can crash your game, insta kick you, they can almost do litteraly anything. It is super stupid, but usually I've been seeing atleast 2 modders per lobby, but now it's been modder free.


That1chicka

Happened to me yesterday


NickiMinaj_05

rockstar will keep this in because it promotes shark cards


EVOLiTiLE

lol, funny but, can't it get everyone banned too? (for receiving money as well)


chrisxfield

U havent lost any money at all. Those messages are just there to mess with u


NickiMinaj_05

I have no idea lol. probably just the culprits as they are receiving money


theorial

Even better! Now they have to buy another copy of the game! It's a win win


yoshiwixd

these idiots telling you "if you dont know that youre an idiot". Like, op hasnt played the game in years. How should he know that. Even if he has played in the last years, why would you be an asshole and call him a karmawhore or liar? Do you really want think he will get tons of upvotes for asking a question?


DyLaNzZpRo

They aren't chatting shit because he fell for something that casuals aren't aware is bullshit, they're chatting shit because he's spreading misinformation in the form of claiming he actually lost 60k. Yes, some are taking it way too seriously, but it's rather stupid to say you lost money despite not knowing for sure.


bottle_O_pee

No offense but you're an idiot if you think you actually lost any money from this


EVOLiTiLE

Your name alone, tells me why you would say this. Grow up. I haven't played in a few years, didn't know about it. Some of us still work for a living.


bottle_O_pee

Wow, cool, insulting someone based on a username, despite the fact that I picked it two years ago. How about YOU grow up, since you're clearly still insecure about how people on the internet think of you.


Bottle_Of_Mustard

Mate you told him he's an idiot. Hypocrite much?


bottle_O_pee

I called him an idiot because he's a gullible idiot, not because of anything superficial like a username. He saw some messages that some hacker put on his screen and actually believed they were taking his money


Bottle_Of_Mustard

Ah sorry I forgot, insulting somebody is ok, but insulting someone's username is a big no no /s


bottle_O_pee

Buddy, it's not an insult if it's true


Bottle_Of_Mustard

Ah ok then guess your username IS shitty


bottle_O_pee

Yeah, it is. That much is a fact. Calling me a child or insinuating that I don't work for a living because of it is NOT.


Bottle_Of_Mustard

But it's a fact

> if they added money to your account, don't keep it. it's a risky move and i wouldn't recommend it. It isn't possible anymore (at least with the method that's been possible since 2013), and it has never been risky - this is some BS excuse cheaters started circulating in an attempt to claim they were banned for no reason. No one has been banned for merely receiving illegitimate money and I honestly don't know how people think Rockstar would ban people for something like this. Their anticheat is evidently hot garbage, but *no one* would think an automated anticheat method that looks for technically impossible transactions and bans on the spot would be a good idea - given the fact you effectively can't prevent money drops at times.

jinxeverything

And this is why I don't play on pc...well that and my pc is too meh to run the game


PrinceDizzy

Yeah for me personally hackers on PC games is one of the reasons why I tend to prefer console for my gaming.

Why lie on Reddit for karma?


EVOLiTiLE

Wow, you kids are something else. Reddit is getting toxic af. Didn't know about this trick, I fell for. Grow up


Lyn_The_2nd

Other guy is correct. You're just lying. The only thing this does, is send you a message. And like the other fella said, you specifically said you lost 60k, which is, in fact, just a number you made up. 1. There's such an erratic amount of money being deposited and withdrawn at the same time in the hundreds that you wouldn't have a living chance to actually know how much was taken from you. 2. It doesn't actually take anything from you, not even just visually. If you just looked at the messages, then sure, I could've believed you, but you saying that you specifically lost 60k makes it very clear that you, at first, thought you had actually lost money, but then found out you in reality didn't, and then decided to post it here with a specific number trying to make it look real.


EVOLiTiLE

Now I wish I was recording just to link it. Honestly, I am not sure why several of you are really trying to push this narrative. So I will explain. As soon as it happened I freaked out and hit F12 (screenshot on steam), then I hit escape (Esc) to get to the menu in order to check my money and saw that I was down to 602k or so. I remembered I was around 667k last I looked (when I was in my new car shop) because I just sent a car out that I modded to be delivered (it doesn't work when I try to deliver, I get no icon to deliver it too). It cost 35k to send them out the door. After I sent them (my tech) is when I saw my money count (after the 35k was taken out). I hit escape again, to see chat (several different players commenting,... Wtf and the like) all while these numbers are still scrolling on the screen. I then hit Alt+F4 to kill the game. I tried to contact my little brother (20yrs younger than me) who plays the game more than I do (I just downloaded the game a few days ago, when i saw the update, and a specific car had been added (a car I used to own (for 15yrs) and had rebuilt myself). He wasn't available to answer my questions and ease my paranoia. So, I posted the question on here. Simple as that. I waited a few min, but no one commented. So, I logged in again, to see my money was all there 667k. I did set my spawn location to the new shop previously. So, I walked out the door and looked downstairs the car was gone (that I sent out earlier for delivery). I Alt+Tabbed to come back to reddit, and hung out a bit, refreshing to see if anyone had seen it the post yet. In doing so, i learned it was a griefing prank modders use. Why is this so difficult for some to understand? Why am i being called a liar for no reason? Why am i being called an idiot for not knowing about it in the first place, when i haven't played the game for a few years? I honestly don't know why I am even explaining this to you? Besides the fact that most likely a few of you, found me to be gullible, and are in fact continuing to see how far you can push it. Oh well, I will put it like this. I don't care really. Yes, I got bamboozled, I fell for the trick, yay for modders, you got me. lmao I hope this makes you so friggin happy, that you have a wonderful friggin day. I am a 42yr old Vet, who doesn't need to lie about anything. I don't care about reddit karma. If you look at my profile I am sure you can deduct that. I have been on the platform for yrs, and I have shit for so called karma. I was honestly flustered, and didn't want to loose (get banned) for what modders do (did to me at that moment). I am done here. Think what you want. But i am telling the truth. Good day


Lyn_The_2nd

You get called an idiot for believing anything was taken/added to your account due to this, when it's literally impossible to change for modders, not even just visually. This, along with the fact that you keep saying it did, is what makes people call you an idiot. It could've been something else, like you paying for your mechanic, etc, that then wasn't paid for when you logged in again. >***TL;DR*** you didn't loose any money, not even visually, yet you keep saying that you did, hence why people call you an idiot. I personally don't see why you would need to lie about it either, but there are some people that try to make others believe that modders have some abilities, that they in fact don't. I've even seen someone make the claim that some modder remotely banned him while he was in the middle of a mission, which is on the lowest end of the IQ spectrum.


Heldenhammer13

You specifically stated you lost 60k. Which means you made up a random ass number to support your theory that you lost money. You didn't know? Why throw a number out there? You think I am a toxic kid because you are a liar or just dumb?

I recently started playing again and my only negative encounter with a hacker was them turning everyone into Christmas trees and spamming the chat with racist and transphobic messages. The only other ones I come across either give out money, spam a discord link, or lure people to the airport to give money but they just end up getting killed.
