Ikuko Tokuoka, a 41-year-old unemployed woman in Shiga, Japan, was arrested for fraud after allegedly sending two bottles of water to a customer instead of a PlayStation 5.
FNN reports that another woman bought the suspect’s PS5 for around 65,000 yen ($ 596)) earlier this year. The PS5 arrived cash on delivery, but there were only two two-liter bottles filled with water in the box. The woman was unable to contact the suspect and then contacted the police.
“I sent the package, but I don’t remember what was in it,” said the suspect, denying the alleged fraud allegations.
The police are currently investigating the matter further.
