Meanwhile, a young girl landed herself in hot water after spending £600 on camping equipment and Harry Potter toys while playing on her mum's phone.
Sharing her story anonymously, the woman said that she let her eight-year-old daughter play on her phone and soon things went suspiciously quiet.
But she thought nothing of it, until later she received a bill from a 'buy now pay later' scheme, informing her that she owed around £600.
The bemused mum then checked the bill and found her daughter had managed to order a 10-man tent, an air mattress, pillows, blankets, pots, pans, cups, and many Harry Potter items while she was playing on her phone.
