My youngest went to bed heart broken tonight in tears. He has video game account on the computer for various sites. One is a pay and 2 are free. Well, he went on tonight and "Joe Blow" (whatever the guy's screen name was) promised if my son gave him his screen name and password he would give him extra pieces to the game. Well, he is too **** trusting (and stubborn to not believe!) and gave the stranger his info. Sure as ****, his account got hacked and many of his items are missing. Nothing is what the person promised. They changed his password to boot. Nice job ****stick! Taking virtual items from a 10 year old on a free game site. Congrats!!
Should he have given out the password? no. Have we talked extensively about this exact thing? yep. Did he decide to go out and make his own decision and take his chances to get burned? mm hmm
Some may say he got what he deserves (because he didn't follow instructions, warnings ect), and to an extent, that is true. Doesn't make it hurt any less to see him upset though. So technically he lost nothing (physically) except hours he has spent playing this game. Just hurts t see him so **** upset and to know that someone took advantage of him.
Could tomorrow be a boring day, PLEASE?!?!
