The £4.99 toys use rollers to print fake cash.

But the recipient fired off an email demanding a “100 per cent refund” after he got fooled by joke feedback online.

Giving it one star on Trustpilot, he fumed: “All the reviews that said it paid for their rent and bills are lies.

“This item is a complete waste of time.”

Miles, who has run The Scarborough Joke and Magic Shop for 25 years, said: “I just find it hilarious.

“The thing they thought they were buying doesn’t exist.

“And if it did exist, it would be illegal.

“It doesn’t actually turn paper into real money — they’ve bought it from a joke shop.”

It came after regular customers posted spoof reviews.

One read: “I bought the money printer from the joke shop.

“It’s printing £50 notes faster than I can spend them.”

Married dad-of-two Miles added: “I’ve had to add a disclaimer on the website to say it’s a trick and doesn’t really print money from nothing.

“In all these years we’ve never had anyone mistake a joke item for something real.”
