This is WHAT you CAN get, when you let your kids, play with, those, HIGH-TECH devices of yours, you LOSE money, B-I-G times!!! Off of the Newspapers, translated…
As the kids have nothing to do at home, the most frequent activity they do, is playing on the cell phones, to find something fun to do. The office of consumer protection reminds everybody, that during the holidays, there had been, the underage children buying the online gaming credits, and as the parents wanted to get the refunds, it’s, next to, impossible, there was a child who’d, used his father’s cell phone, and, spent $260,000N.T. to draw the cards, and the father couldn’t get the money refunded back, and can only, take the bills on his own.
The expert high-tech user, Brother Time advises, that if the children are playing on the iPhones, you can turn on the family share function, and set up the “ask before spend”, and, as the child bought something, it would, automatically, link to the parents’ primary accounts, and, the parents would have to sign off on it; the Android cell phones can also use the Google accounts to turn on the “Family Link” function, and set up “buying agreement”, made sure that the parents allowed, then, the kids can, go ahead and spend.
The head of law of Hsinbei City, Wu pointed out, based off of the rules of the Department of Economics, if the underage without the consent of guardians bought the gaming credits, the legal guardians can file for the refunds, and as the operators confirmed, then, the “unused gaming credits” can be refunded.
But, if the gaming credits are used up, even IF the contract stated that the legal guardian’s consent was null and void, the businesses have the right, to ask for the amount of the gaming credits back.
like this…
The officers of Consumer Protections of Hsinbei City told, that some of the kids didn’t have the sense of money, and, mistreated the USDs as N.T.s, and, started, “draining out the money” to play the games, there are even children who waited until the parents were asleep, and used their fingers to unlock the cellphone locks, or pretend to be adult for the facial recognition unlock. As the parents received the bills, and, it’s usually hard to prove, that they didn’t authorize, plus, a lot of the gaming agencies are located abroad, which makes it harder, to get the money back.
The officers of the Consumer Protections Agency reminded, that there are, too many case of children using the parents’ cell phones, and causing the parents to have to pay, the best way is to shut the “small amount payments” function, and change your password often.
And so these kids are, getting too, tech savvy here, they’re, using their parents’ high-tech devices, and they end up, spending too much money in those games, and the parents, ended up, paying, BIG times, for what their young did, and this is, the high-tech age, which every kid is born with that smartphone in their hands, and before they can call mama or dada, their first words are more than likely to be, “iPad” “iPhone”!
And this, is what it, looks like, as we all go, high-tech in the world right now.
