Title: Woman Duped Into Buying Wooden iPad

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.

It had to be in Spartanburg......sigh. Good luck finding the geniuses that sold that idiot a fake Ipad. I would be more embarrassed about buying a wooden Ipad than anything else. I would have just ate the $180 and not told anyone how stupid i am.  :D

Its not like she thought it was made of wood....they did a classic bait and switch.  Pull a legit one out of a box, show it to her...nice and new, stickers, etc...then proceed to get her a "brand new one" sitting in a pile of other boxes, all taped up, never opened...., except in this box, is a fake one, a brick, etc...

By the time the victim gets home, the thieves are long gone.

I didn't see that in the story? Where is the link to that?

Even if they did, it doesn't excuse the stupidity of buying an ipod from 2 guys in a mcdonalds parking lot who approach you asking if you want to buy one.

Her action is not defendable. She's also at fault.

Not defending her stupidity, she was gullible and paid the price. 

Pointing out the obvious, no one showed her a wooded Ipad and convinced her it was the latest fad...

She should have checked inside the box first. You never buy a product from anyone without checking out what you are getting.

Don't feel sorry for her.

Mcdowell @ mcdonald's. must be legit story.

more racism sprinkled around that the fat coke bottled kike simply ignores for simplicity sake.
Really nice of you to talk about Ron like that Alex23.  You're very tough talking behind all your gimmicks.
Yet in real life you're nothing but a fat, friendless, sterile, french douchebag.

There isn't... Chick is using conjecture to make a point... The problem, is that in reality, he's just fucking making it up.

It's one of the oldest tricks in the book is what chick is referring to.
Its not the first time this move has ever been pulled. Maybe the first
Time with an iPad that someone reported but it's a common scam.

my uncle got dupped like that back in the 80's, nuggas said they had some hot shit in the van and needed to get rid of VCR fast... uncle bought too ran to his car fast and took off, got home opened the box and found clay bricks inside.

It has been said that it is very difficult to cheat a truly honest person.

She was sent out to get McNuggets and Happy Meals and came back with a wooden phone.  She should put the phone in the ground and maybe a beanstalk will grow. 

An earlier post really nailed it.  If she were in the kitchen where women belong, this wouldn't have happened.

What a retarded wench. Serves her right.

I cannot count the times I have been approached in a mall/plaza parking lot by a guy out of a van trying to sell me some speakers. Always says they aren't hot; they just have too many of them from a shipment or some hogwash horseshit.

She buys a fuckin' wood iPad: CLASSIC  ;D

Some approached us at a grocery store.  Called the cops who were having a nice chat w/them when we left.
