I thought it was funny at first but when he's eyes began watering I saw a deeply hurt man.

I feel sorry for the poor young boy. Shame on the parents and even greater shame for then laughing and making fun of the boy. People like this don't deserve to be parents!!!

He's evil brother is the brain behind the prank, and he's the one holding the camera, laughing and doing most of the tauting.

This video brings up bad memories from the past. Let me fill you in on the story. When I saw 12 I entered a competition on the internet and three lucky winners were to receive a loaded, spanking new S80 worth close to €32 000. All we had to do was to pay the invoice for winners tax which was a reasonable €130.

5 weeks later I received a big envelope and inside it was a letter and a certificate that I was one of the winner! For the first time in life I experienced the hight of joy, I'm jumped up and down the house, screamed and told my mom who even called to Africa telling cousins and relatives about it.

The only way I could describe how happy I was, is by levitating 6 cm over the ground. Next day I meet with my school mates on the bus and told them about the good news, but after the first lesson of the day which was PE, a class mate came up to me with a newspaper which had a small article on the front page stating that 219 people had received letters stating that they had won an S80. Apparently it was a scam and the Police was urging the "winners" not to pay the winners tax.

At first I couldn't believe it that what I was reading was true, but after an hour or two it hit me that I'm not getting the S80 which I had been dreaming about all night. I was completely crushed for close to a week.

Owch! I feel sorry for you even if it is a Volvo, it is a great shame to get yours hope up then be knocked down

Well that was awful!

I hope that it was a prank,and that the people you see exiting the camera area were going to pickup the real Xbox hidden in another room.

Lu, I'm sorry to hear your pain, at least you did not pay any monies to the scammers.. did they ever catch them?

Centurion

It's real, no prank. The kid didn't get an xbox. Apparently many people have seen the video and a whole bunch of them including Microsoft want to hook the kid up.

Yeah the did catch the scamers since it was easy to trace them using the bank account stated on the invoice. I remember that a handful of the victims were going to sue the scamers. Since I was just a kid I didn't have the energy or knowledge to follow up on it.

Good Golly, I ask myself:

why are some people so cruel, cold-hearted and just plain mean?


Are they avenging themselves ?

or redirecting anger?

Centurion

The 19 years old brother probably knew that he wasn't going to get any killer Christmas gifts, and felt the need to redirect his disappointment to his younger and more vulnerable brother.
