Detecting a strange transaction in FIFA, the mother of 3 young gamers demanded a refund from Microsoft for a year

The gaming world has changed a lot in the last two decades, the fact that gamers buy a game and that’s the end of the transaction doesn’t exist anymore, nowadays we spend money on DLCs, on items in the game. Almost all gamers will continue to spend on the game as long as they keep playing it.​

​

This is also a problem that makes parents of children kid gamer must be concerned, especially in today’s era of convenient and developed electronic transactions. A mother in the UK received an email from Microsoft with the content that she bought 12,000 points three times FIFA from account Xbox Live linked to your credit card. The total value of these 3 transactions is 310 USD (more than 7 million VND). However, the problem here is that Ms. Lesley Urwin did not play FIFA and did not make any transactions. Lesley’s three sons are the ones who regularly play FIFA with the Xbox.

Reading this far, many people will immediately think that the above transaction is made by Lesley’s three sons, there have been many similar cases in the past. But the above mother does not believe it, she believes that it is the hacker who is behind everything:

​

That’s why Lesley contacted and asked Microsoft to refund her, this mother has been persistent for more than a year, and at the same time forbid her children to touch the Xbox. After that, there were no more transactions from the family’s Xbox Live account. It seems to give up on this mother’s perseverance, Microsoft recently decided to refund the corresponding amount to buy 36,000 FIFA points. In the end, we still don’t know who is the real culprit behind these transactions, the boys or the hackers? If the boys are really innocent, being banned from playing games for a year is definitely not a happy thing.​
