【why does hollywood combine eroticism with horror】

We've all been there: you set out to order yourself a nice Bitcoin miner online,why does hollywood combine eroticism with horror and you end up with nothing to show for it but a copy of The Boss Babyon DVD.

This was the highly odd situation facing Ichim Bogdan Cezar from Stoke in the UK. He attempted to order some cryptocurrency gear from Amazon last November -- and for some reason received a copy of the Oscar-nominated kids' film instead.

Cezar ordered the Bitcoin miner from a third party seller called Minifigures Direct Ltd for £3149.99 ($4503.32) on 21 November, according to a report in the Plymouth Herald.

On the 5 December, a parcel arrived. His wife signed for it, he got home and opened it, and a copy of The Boss Babyfell out. Cezar contacted Minifigures Direct and was told it was a mistake, but the real product never showed up.

"What made things more annoying is that the seller went AWOL afterwards"

"What made things more annoying is that the seller went AWOL afterwards," Cezar told the Plymouth Herald.

"I knew I was getting messed around so I just wanted to get the money back and move on."

And Cezar did get the money back -- eventually.

According to The Herald, Amazon initially said they were unable to help as the product had been signed for, and advised Cezar to contact Royal Mail. They finally agreed to refund him on 29 December after he'd made several claims. He got his money back almost a month later, on 20 January.

It doesn't look like Cezar is the only person who has experienced something like this, either. If you look at the Feedback tab on Minifigures Direct LTD's Amazon seller page, all of the recent reviews are one star.

Many of them say their order failed to arrive, and one person says they were sent a Sharpie Marker instead of the Bitcoin miner they ordered.
