Case to Analyse

Ahmed is 17 years old. He is good in browsing the World Wide Web to find good prices offered by companies who are selling some gadgets or devices online. One day, he found an offer for the sale of Macbook Pro laptops at a very low price of OMR 67 each. Wholly, he knew that the current retail price was about OMR 670 and he recognises that the low price must have been erroneous. Since he was thinking that he can sell these Macbook Pro laptops at good price with profit, he decides to purchase 10 of them since it was offered at such an incredible low price. He enters the credit card number of the supplementary card given to him by his mother. The buying goes through and the system responds with an approval of a sale of 10 laptops at the total price of OMR 670.

The delivery date comes and Ahmed was waiting for the laptops to be delivered by the shop to his location.
