Punjab teenager lost 16 lakh on PUBG in-game transactions
- Jkopinion Desk
In a incident, a teenage boy from Punjab spent Rs 16 lakh on popular game PUBG making in-app purchases. The 17-year-old spent money from his parents’ account to buy in-game cosmetic items, passes for tournaments, and virtual ammunition.
The parents were unaware of the situation as the boy told his parents that he was using the smartphone for studying online during the lockdown, according to a report by A Popullar National news paper Making online transactions became easier for the boy as the bank details and card details were saved on the smartphone only.
The boy’s parents revealed that they learned about the transactions upon receiving bank details. The boy would delete messages of transactions from their smartphones and often shuffled money between two accounts to avoid zeroing down the balance. The teenager also ended up emptying his mother’s provident fund and his own bank account.
“After we received details from the bank, I found that on several occasions, he shuffled amount from one bank to another to avoid nil balance. He was using his mother’s phone for quite some time and she was not much vigilant to notice this,” the father said.
As a result of his son’s wrongdoings to teach a lesson, the father has made him work at a scooter repair shop. “I just can’t let him sit idle at home and cannot give him a mobile phone even for studying. He is working at a scooter repair shop so that he realises how hard it is to earn money.
