Getting fake iPads are the new "white vans selling stereos" in a parking lot.
Ashley McDowell has already packed a lot of stupid into her scant 22 years, having fallen for this amazingly obvious scam. She was approached by two men in a South Carolina McDonald's parking lot, where they offered to sell her an iPad for $300. Apparently, these legitimate salesmen who "drove a white Impala with no rims and no tint", and one of which she'd noted "had a gold tooth", were selling iPads they bought them in bulk and were selling them at a discount. Poor Ashley only had $180, but those nice gentlemen gave it to her anyway.
Imagine her surprise when she got home, opened up the Fed Ex box she was given, and found out it was really just a block of wood with an Apple logo painted on the back.
It is a bit of a surprise they bothered to painted a screen and some fake icons on their wood block to make it look like the real deal, considering their scam only held together if suckers like Ashley didn't check the box before forking over their dough.
