Thread: Man Spent $750 Buying Xbox One but Got a Piece of Paper Instead

One teenager in the UK wanted to buy an Xbox One console on eBay but unfortunately, he didn’t get what he expected at last.

19-year-old United Kingdom resident Peter Clatworthy paid £450 +£8 shipping (around $750) for a piece of paper he thought was an Xbox One as part of an eBay scam, The Nottingham Post reported today.

Clatworthy, a student from Bilborough, said he saved up to buy the limited edition Day One system as a Christmas gift for his young son.

The auction listing stated it was for a photo of the console, not the system itself. However, Clatworthy said he still expected to receive the Xbox One because the item was listed in the "video games and consoles" category on eBay.
