Kid gets £44,000 from ebay auction

OK, he got the PS2, which he paid £95 for, but without any of the two promised games, but hey, £44,000 is more than compensation.

According to the Beeb, coppers are holding the money under the Proceeds of Crime Act while the matter is investigated. Local magistrates have given police until September 22 to find something or the kid might get to keep it.

Ebay admits that the parcel's contents were "somewhat unusual" and it would help police with their inquiries.>{? Normally when people are scammed on Ebay, they end up losing their money not gaining a huge wodge of it. We guess someone has not quite got the hang of this yet. µ
