Underage gamer spends $1,000 on games with esports teacher’s credit card — he just wanted help with PS Plus subscription

In Jonesboro, Arkansas (USA), eSports teacher Stuart Simpson contacted law enforcement because of unauthorized purchases made by his student.

In his complaint, Simpson explained that his student was unable to purchase a PlayStation Plus subscription, which is required to access free and online games. So he entered his credit card details into the student’s PlayStation console and bought him a three-month subscription. However, the boy abused this and started buying video games without the teacher’s permission.

When Simpson tried to delete his card details through PlayStation’s website, he discovered charges totaling $1,056. According to him, all these purchases were made on the student’s remote control.

It’s unclear whether the student bought a large number of Call of Duty skins or just a few games, but either way, the teacher was unhappy and contacted his credit card to reverse the charge. Even though the $1,056 was returned, Simpson still went to the police and filed a formal complaint.

The teacher was lucky – his student was not as far-sighted as one of the PlayStation fans recently spent $2,000extend PS Plus until 2048.
