| Peter Clatworthy with his purchase |
(Scroll down for video) A teen learned the hard way not to trust anyone after receiving a photo of an Xbox instead of the game console.
The young father, who paid £450 ($700) for what he thought was an Xbox on ebay received a photo of the new console instead.
Peter Clatworthy, 19, had saved all year to buy the console, which is now out of stock, for his four-year-old son.
Several days after paying for the console he received a blurred photograph of it, and to make matters worse, the seller had written "thank you for your purchase" on the back.
When he returned to the listing, Clatworthy realized that the title said the item for sale is just a photo.
The teen, of Bilborough, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, said that he was "absolutely gutted” despite having given a full refund by ebay, which said it would take action against the seller because misleading advertisements are not permitted.
"I told my brother and he was crying with laughter, so were all my colleagues, it is very embarrassing," he said.
"Even my mother told me it was a bit stupid considering that it said it was a photo in the advertisement,” he said.
