Dad Muhammad, 41, didn’t realize it until he found 29 email receipts for transactions between £ 1.99 and £ 99.99 for the mythical monster training game Dragons: Rise of Berk.
The doctor now had to sell his Toyota Aygo engine to cover Apple’s iTunes bill of £ 1,289.70.
Mohammed said in shock: “At first I thought I had been betrayed. I never thought that you could spend so much money on a piece of cake. “
Ashaz only played the free game for an hour and Muhammad had no idea that it was offering unlimited in-app purchases for up to £ 109.

He said, “I said to customer service, ‘Well done, you ripped me off, you managed to rip my kid off’.”
Apple did not want to comment on the case, but said it took such incidents “very seriously” and urged parents to take precautionary measures.
