A man in Michigan named Keith Stonehouse let his six-year-old son use his phone to play a game Saturday night . . . thinking that it would chill him out before bed. But the kid ended up playing with a different app: Grubhub.
Keith says he knew something was strange when he got a food delivery . . . but before he could figure it out, another one came . . . then another . . . and another. He says it was like a parade of deliveries.
It didn't take long for him to figure out that they WERE orders from his account . . . that his SON had made. There was nearly $1,000 in food delivery orders . . . and it could've been worse.
He said his credit card stopped a $439 order from Happy's Pizza, suspecting fraud. However, a $183 order of jumbo shrimp from the same restaurant did go through just fine . . . as did orders from other restaurants for chicken shawarma, salads, chicken wraps, chili cheese fries, ice cream, and more.
Keith says he was mad, but there was nothing he could do about it . . . so he crammed as much as he could in the fridge, and offered the rest to neighbors.
He also tried to talk to his son about it, so he'd understand what went wrong . . . but while he was trying to explain, the kid stopped him and asked, "Dad, did the pepperoni pizzas come yet?"
