Girl guesses dad’s PayPal password to accidentally book Disneyland trip

Posted by: admin , November 8, 2017

A 9-year-old girl unwittingly booked a £1,000 one-way trip to Disneyland Paris after she guessed her dad’s PayPal password.
Ian Wilson was sleeping when his daughter Susan grabbed his phone and stumbled across German site Getyourguide.
After a few days, Ian realised his PayPal account had been charged for flights, a hotel gift card, VIP Eiffel Tower trip worth and theme park tickets, with a train due to depart the next day!
Ian says he initially thought it was fraud, but eventually got to Susan, who was heartbroken.
According to Susan, she just likes playing on her dad’s phone and doesn’t even know what the Eiffel Tower is…
PayPalhas refunded the money on the basis that this was a ‘friendly fraud’. Naturally, Ian now has a password on his phone.
