Suddenly got a large number of credits in multiplayer

[Decoy_Tactics]

Hello! Apologies if this is the wrong venue for this question. I recently played ME3 multiplayer, and after a single match, I found I had something like 6000000 credits in my account. I'm guessing this is because the host was using a modified .ini file. However I'm uncertain how to proceed, as I don't know how to bring this to anyone's attention, or who's attention it needs. I haven't spent the credits, and I'm unwilling to earn anymore until I've found some way to get the matter resolved. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

@Slapsak69 This happens when the game host is cheating. To prevent this, either host the game yourself or leave the game if you get an absurd credit gain after the first objective wave.

Years ago my advice would have been to contact EA support about it and let them wipe the credits so you wouldn't be labelled a cheater yourself, but I'm not sure if EA still takes actions against cheaters in this game.

Also got this "problem" just now, though seeing you got no reply after 4 years I assume they don't care. Just leaving a reply in case EA decides that they do care.

Hey @Slapsak69

Our Terms of Service Team is still looking into cheating reports from Mass Effect 3. Just like @Fred_vdp mentioned, you can contact our live support to let them know that you probably joined a match hosted by a cheater or you can report that player if you still remember their ID.

@EA_Ataashi Do you know if EA still reads ME3 cheater reports sent to ME3MPCheaters@BioWare.com?

@Fred_vdp 

I believe this email is not active anymore  We recommend going the usual "report the player" route, which I linked above, for most of our titles now.
