GTA Online Money Glitch Results In Accounts Being Wiped

A recent exploit was discovered that helped players to get rich quick.

The apartment garage glitch enabled players to purchase properties and quickly turn it into millions of in-game dollars.

Players would use a variety of menus to trick the game into gifting them millions of in-game dollars within minutes.

If you're a fan of what's been added to this week's update and you're eager to pick something up, we advise against doing this.

"Players found to be manipulating and abusing Property trade-ins to gain GTA$ illegitimately have had affected characters reset," Rockstar's support entry added on the August 28th August.

Some players have not taken it well...

Why has Rockstar gone for a full reset rather than just removing the money that didn't belong? Who knows. We can only assume it was to make a point and it looks like the point has been made very clear.

So, if you're thinking about it and want to avoid losing months or even years of work (like many of the above users) think again.

Unless you enjoy waiting for GTA 6's release...whenever that may be.
