Title: iPad scams
Post by: Landshark on November 09, 2012, 03:01:48 pm
So get this.  This woman buys an iPad from a guy at a gas station out of the back of his trunk for $200.  She goes home, opens it, and realizes it's just a mirror with the iPad desktop on one side.

To quote Forrest Gump, "Stupid is as stupid does"

Turns out the Walmart employees are breaking them before putting them on the shelf.

I also read somewhere that another retail store employee was taking them out of the box and loading them up with enough printer paper to match the weight, then taking the iPads for himself.
