Lila’s mom shouldn’t have given her her cell phone to make her wait during a car trip… the bill was high.
Screens are everywhere and even small children are smart enough to manage on their own on this type of device.
This is the case of Lila, a 5-year-old American girl who, a few days ago, managed to order for almost 4,000 euros worth of toys on Amazon in just a few clicks.
Indeed, that day, she was driving with her mother in Westport, Massachusetts and asked her if she could use her cell phone.
Her mom hands her the cell phone, thinking she’ll wait and play a few games during the trip. But Lila had another idea in mind…
Motorcycles and a Jeep ordered
The day before, the family had gone to a park where Lila had observed a little boy playing with a mini-motorcycle, an off-road motorcycle for childrenas reported Today. Being too small to be able to ride on it, the little girl decided to simply order it.
In a few clicks she finds the right model et command not one, but 10 copies. To this, she adds to the basket a Two-seater children’s jeepall for the modest sum of 3 179 $, i.e. 2,900 euros.
To have style at the wheel of her machines, she takes the opportunity to buy 10 pairs of cowgirl boots white for women for 743 $, i.e. less than 700 euros.
The entire order thus amounts to more than 3,600 euros.
Recidivist
It was when he received a message on his phone at 2 a.m.‘alert of an Amazon order shipped that the mother of the family will become aware of the purchase made by her daughter.
Initially, the mother thought she had made herself hack his account. But quickly she realized that it was her own daughter who had placed the order behind her back.
Besides, the little girl was not at her first attempt. At Christmas, she had received a panoply of lip glosses.
Luckily for the family, the ordered items could be canceled or returned.
