Xiao Fei (pseudonym), a boy from Hubei who came to his aunt’s house in Ningbo during the summer vacation, spent 11,497.9 yuan to recharge games overnight, which made the family explode.
What makes the adults even more worried is that my aunt's father-in-law is currently suffering from cancer, and my uncle is the only one who earns money to support the family... His move puts the family into even more trouble. Afterwards, the adults negotiated with the game provider, but the other party did not agree to refund the money.
Mr. Zhong is a migrant worker and works as a chef in Ningbo. He and his wife, Ms. Shi, got married last year and have a lovely baby.
This summer, Ms. Shi’s nephew Xiaofei came to Ningbo from his hometown in Hubei to live with them. Mr. Zhong is quite busy at work, and Ms. Shi is mainly taking care of her nephew Xiaofei.
A phone call from the bank a few days ago surprised Mr. Zhong. "That morning, I was working, and the bank suddenly called me and said that my credit card had incurred 29 charges in a row yesterday, totaling more than 10,000, and asked me if my bank card had been stolen."
Mr. Zhong At first he thought it was a scam call, but then he realized something was wrong when he received a text message from the bank with the details of each payment. Mr. Zhong immediately took leave and went home to ask his wife about the situation. Ms. Shi was also confused at the time. After questioning later, Xiaofei finally admitted that she had downloaded some games to play on Mr. Zhong’s iPad, and secretly recharged different games 29 times at night.
Xiao Fei’s father, who was working in Shanghai, rushed to Ningbo immediately after learning about the situation. According to Mr. Zhong, his wife and his brother had a quarrel because of this matter. Since Xiaofei's father's financial situation is not optimistic, he cannot come up with so much money to repay Mr. Zhong and his wife.
Afterwards, Mr. Zhong began to negotiate with the game provider.
According to the information provided by Mr. Zhong, there are 3 games that Xiao Fei recharges, one is "Tom Cat", one is "Skiing Adventure", and the other is "Time Travel" "Fire Line".
Among them, the game "Crossfire" has the highest recharge amount, nearly 8,000 yuan, and the producer of this game is a certain company.
“Thankfully, the bank noticed the anomaly, notified me in time and temporarily stopped subsequent payments, otherwise my credit card would have been maxed out and the loss would have been even greater. This more than 10,000 yuan is almost what I have spent for more than 3 months. Salary, if this money is not returned, it will really have a great impact on my family’s life.”
The 8-year-old child has no capacity for civil conduct, and the situation of recharging more than 10,000 yuan is beyond his understanding. If the transaction is established, ratification by the guardian is required. If there is no consent, the transaction will definitely not be established, and the game publisher should refund the money. However, this case is not that simple, and there are still many problems:
