Next time your kid want’s “play with your phone” you might want to think about this!
A very young girl ran up a nearly $4,000 bill on her mother’s credit card for an unauthorized online shopping spree, buying five pink motorcycles, ten pairs of cowgirl boots, and a giant motorized Jeep before nearly giving her mom a coronary.
Five-year-old Massachusetts resident Lila Nunes, has since managed to escape punishment.
Mom Jessica explained how the youngster pulled it off, and almost put her out of $3,922.
‘She asked to use my cell phone…’
Figuring she wanted to play games on the device, Jessica brushed it off – but soon received a late-night message from Amazon notifying her of the extreme spending.
‘I went about my day thinking nothing of it until my phone buzzed at 2 a.m. the next morning alerting me to a shipped Amazon order.’
Opening the notification, she noticed that there had been a great deal of unexplained activity on her account, and that her credit card had already been charged for purchases that she did not recognize.
She noticed the items were all products that a young child might buy, especially if unattended and with access to the necessary funds.
But only when she checked the time of the purchases, she used her deduction skills to unmask her daughter as the mystery shopper.
Meanwhile, Lila explained how she slyly made the orders: ‘You just press the yellow button, and you press the brown button.’
When asked why she did the crime, she smirked and explained: ‘Cause I wanted one.’
