Something similar happened a few years ago in SWG. There was a massive credit dupe and the dupers went around sending money to all sorts of people. (in SWG there is a slash command that lets you instantly send money to peoples bank that you are standing next to, not trade window needed and you can not stop it. At least there was during that time). It spread like wildfire for a while. People would just run around tipping millions of credits to other players.
SOE banned anyone who got duped money, including people who had NPCs vendors selling their crafted items while there were offline. Anyone who got banned needed to file a petition and go through a review process to make sure they were not guilty. It was a bad situation for SOE to be in, but they were way to heavy handed.
You might have some luck filing a petition and trying to get it reversed. If you have a history of getting money from people in the mail and find a reasonable CSR they should revert the money back to you. Also if someone is just randomly sending out duped plat to flood the CSRs they should be understanding about it.
I got caught in the SWG credit dupe as well. I'd completely forgotten about that. I had a T-21 with mindfire on a vendor for an insane amount and someone bought it with duped credits. Same account as well.
I think this was the only time in EQ2 that I've either sent or received money through the mail on this server. I used to do it on my first server quite a bit though, but that was many moons ago.
At the end of the day, I think SOE took the right action, and I'm certainly not bitter. The 28 days free gametime on Station Access more than makes up for the less IMO.
