A 6-year-old boy spent $ 16,000 behind his mom’s back. George is a very clever little American, in any case quite smart, who at the height of his 6 years has spent a fortune on his mother’s phone.
Where did he spend this money? In a game, Sonic Forces Racing Battle, a video game in which you have to pay a few dollars each time you want to unlock characters or bonuses.
No refund possible
And in a few hours of play, little George went there franco. To the point that when she discovered her invoice, her mother believed it was a mistake or a fraud. She also alerted her bank, and Apple, to report fraudulent purchases.
To which the bank, and Apple, replied that these purchases were not fraudulent. His phone was not stolen or hacked. So no question of repaying it.
