This woman paid $180, in a MacDonalds parking lot, to a couple of strangers who said they had extra iPads in their vehicle. She paid for it and took the package home without opening it, only to find later that it was a slab of wood.
I lost count how many things in that scenario that would ring warning bells. I disagree with the part of the article that tries to evoke some sympathy for this woman.
Before you scream, snort or snicker, let he who has not been fooled at least once in this life cast the first tablet of wood.There are scams, and there are SCAMS. Most of us who were taken in by scams were the ones that were done in such an elaborate fashion to pass them off for being legit. This is not the case here. When you are approached by some strangers, IN A MACDONALDS PARKING LOT, for heaven's sake, and then to not even check and see if you're getting what you were paying for, there is just something terribly wrong with you. Sorry, but you deserve to be taken in, and you should not be allowed to propagate your genes for the sake of humanity.
Zz.
