What to do when you get money dropped? (Unwillingly)

[Phantom9621]

-Yes this is for epic, but this is the only place I can really ask-
So, I ran into a hacker money dropping. Didn't risk it and avoided him.
But for others less aware or people that get forced money dropped, whats the safest way to avoid a ban for a mistake/forced drop?
Also wanted to know for future reference in case it does happen.
((Not asking how to appeal a ban, just to avoid one in a worst case scenario))

You wont get banned for receiving drops....only if u ask for it

Quickly find a new session.

If you accidentally gotten "too much" money, stop playing the game and contact Rockstar Support to correct the money.

They won't even remove it unless it's too much money and too much is quite a bit as some here say they have had millions on them over their play times and R didn't even bother wasting time removing it or else that would be all they would be doing is removing all the modded money so in order for them to remove the modded cash it would have to be alot of cash

not true, if he stays and collect 1 bil or such without trying to run or changing session, sure it unlikely op get a billion anyway

So the general rule is to just change sessions and ignore it?

They would just remove the cash if too much. Like lets say the user had to do something and stayed in his bunker then went AFK for a little bit and right after he goes AFK some modder starts dropping cash on him. It's not the players fault that some modder did this so most they would do is remove the modded cash even their own FAQ Page says this

Note the last few lines of the quote as the bold text doesn't stand out well.

Question: I heard GTA Online cheaters were causing large amounts of modded GTA$ to transfer to innocent players over the past few weeks. Is Rockstar Games aware of this, and what is being done?

Answer: We have received complaints over the past few weeks about cheaters gifting large amounts of GTA$ to others, setting bounty rewards outside game limits, or otherwise attempting to tamper with the GTA Online economy. We have deployed several hotfixes to prevent this type of activity, and will be adding further cheat protection in future Title Updates as well. Players who willingly cheated to create this illegitimate influx of in-game currency will be separated out from the rest of the population. If you were the unwilling recipient of an impossibly large amount of GTA$, you do not need to worry about disciplinary action against your account. However, please be aware that we will be making community-wide automatic adjustments to players’ account balances to remove the modded money.

That is R's official response to modded money so ignore those who say you will get banned.

Only way to get banned is if there is proof you were willingly asking for the money then that could lead to a ban but just having money dropped on you just spend if. Most likely it isn't enough for R to even worry about it. Over my time in game (Over 900 hours) I have probably had a couple million dropped on me. Just leave the session and accept that you got a little free money.

based on what i have seen they are exploiting(and modding it in at will) the store robbery bags which is like a few thousand each. if they start dropping on me i just change session. i don't change session if they are there and not messing with me or causing too much environment issues. you can report as well.
