13-Year-Old Spends $2 Million On Ebay

Posted by Kim in General at 3:05 am | Permanent Link

A 13-year-old boy spent about $2 million from a school computer
buying a helicopter, a jet and other items over the Internet using a
password belonging to a friend’s mother.

The woman discovered the purchases the day the helicopter’s owner
called and asked how she intended to pay for the aircraft. She is having
the purchases cancelled. The $1.1 million helicopter is a used military
model. The boy has not made it clear what he intended to do with his
purchases.

……and I thought we were spending alot on Ebay!!
