        Haha my sister spent almost 500$ on the phone bill playing that dumb crane app where you actually operate a crane in Japan through your phone. And she did that shit 3 times just with 300 and then 400 the separate times.

        At the same time she used her money to buy and sell characters, which included artwork of them. I have honestly no idea what that means but she wasted such money on this stupid shit.

    I wonder how they thought this would go down. Were they just hoping that their mum wouldn’t notice a $200 charge? Were they going to say, “oh, can’t get refunds, guess I’ll pay you back over time” (ask for forgiveness instead of permission, basically)? What was the end game?

      I was once a dumb kid. My thought process at the time was that may parents simply wouldn’t notice the transaction on the account because they rarely checked.

      Thankfully, I didn’t go through with it, but knowing what I know now, they definitely would have noticed a strange transaction, even for a small dollar amount.

      It wasn’t even because I had no money - I was being paid an allowance and could typically afford the things I wanted to buy. I just wanted to buy stuff online and I didn’t have a bank account or debit/credit card to process the transaction.
