Title: Boy buys second hand PS2 with games on eBay, recieves £44k instead
Post by: Tuffty on July 18, 2007, 05:18:21 PM
Police are trying to trace the owner of 65,400 euros (£44,000) mistakenly sent to a 16-year-old boy who bought a Playstation Two for £95 on eBay.

The cash arrived in a box at the house in Aylsham, Norfolk, with the games console, but minus two games.  (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/6903433.stm)

Stupid parents! With that amount of money, you could just afford a new PS3! :lol:

Most people say they would've kept the money, but damn, do you know who's money it is? Could belong to some mafia or some other group of organized crime.  If they found out where there money went they'd go to that lil boys house and rob them lol, and that stuff never goes smoothly.

Wouldn't selling second hand PS2's on eBay be a little beneath the mafia? :lol: And surely, with that amount of money, they'd deliver it in person somehow, not send it over the postal service which could get lost or delivered to a wrong address.
