A South Carolina woman told police she was scammed into buying an Apple iPad made of wood by two men in a McDonald's parking lot.
According to a police report obtained by the Smoking Gun, 22-year-old Ashley Mcdowell claimed she was buying food at the restaurant when the men approached her. They claimed to have bought iPads in bulk and were selling them for $300.
Retail price for the gadgets normally begins at $499.
Mcdowell told the men she only had $180 and they went for the deal, and she was given a FedEx box with the assumed iPad inside.
On the drive home, Mcdowell discovered "a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo" in the box and called police, the report stated.
The fake iPad came complete with a Best Buy price tag and pasted-on app icons.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office is searching for the two men.

The fact that they were willing to sell it to her for $180 should have been a red flag! :eek: :crazy:

Hmmm...an "iPad" for $180, being sold out of a car in a McDonald's parking lot, by some dude with a gold tooth. Sounds kosher to me!! :rolleyes: :crazy: :lol:

i watched pawn stars this one guy tryigto sell his wooden harly davidsons motoer cycle i thought it was funny. i wound't trust any one seeling sutff from their cars

Sadder story, this stupid bint is allowed to drive, vote, and breed.

she can still play Angry Birds on it though, that's all anyone uses those things for anyways.

I bet the look on her face when she opened the box was worth more than $180.

What a crazy story. People can be so gullible, mean and stupid.

I would never by an electronic from anyone but a reputable store. The item may cost quite a bit, but a least you know you're dealing with someone you can trust. If it costs more than $7 or 8 dollars, no matter what it is, I would never by it off the street. Too easy to get scammed, as this poor woman found out.

Sadly, it all can be boiled down to that simple rule: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!

The lady is a idiot
