He had me access her Google account and the receipts for microtransactions go back years. My dad said the noise was probably her breaking her tablet, a blessing in disguise. There was blatant lying followed by sounds of violence and the connection went dead.
I returned the laptop to her, and later asked her about it over the phone. She spent over $200 in the last 30 days on Candy Coins and Cookie Coins or whatever. I noticed that just from the last 30 days (spam automatically purges after that) there were around 80 Google Play receipts. I wanted to make sure spam filtering wasn't overly aggressive and that everything in her Spam folder was truly spam. I got her a laptop and was setting up Fossamail for her. It turns out she apparently has a lot of time to kill.
I've casually asked her a time or two about the microtransactions and she's said she occasionally spends $.99 if she has time to kill and wants to play a few more rounds in a sitting. My mother has been playing Candy Crush Saga, Cookie something, Soda whateverthefuck, etc., all that King garbage, for three or four years now. I looked for some videogame addiction forums and had no luck in finding a really active one, but I think some of you will be able to help me.) (This is going to be a weird thread for this forum and if I was a newb some would no doubt think I'm trolling.
