Woman duped into buying ⊗⊗⊗⊗ iPad
 

iPad sold at Texas gas station was actually a mirror | Watch the video - Yahoo! News

Jalonta Freeman of Arlington, Texas was approached by a stranger at a gas station, selling what he claimed to be a brand new $800 iPad, for just $200. Freeman and her family did not want to miss out on an offer they thought seemed great, so they gave him cash for the tablet, and the man quickly drove away. When the package was finally opened, the Freeman family discovered the elaborately wrapped "iPad" was actually just a mirror about the size of a tablet. Freeman said she felt stupid, but learned a valuable lesson, and offered this advice, "Don't buy nothing on the streets from nobody." An Arlington police spokesperson said that crimes of this kind always increase leading up to Christmas. Last year, incidents similar to this were reported in several states.

I feel bad for her, but at the same time she deserves it.

nobody deserves to get ripped off like that i hope they find that prick

No one deserves it but when you don't actually check the content of the package it just gives @ssh... like that to keep ripping people off. Hopefully the guy gets caught but I doubt it.

Yes, that it what I mean. People are just plain idiots, which is why we have the 99% and the 1%. What do you expect if someone rolls up in a piece of sh!t car trying to sell a brand new $800 iPad for $200. And even worse you dont open it or even play with it/check it out.

Yuuuuuuuup!

Im sorry, but, you do not buy one of the worlds HOTTEST items in the world right now, at THAT price, without standing IN FRONT of the person and OPENING the box BEFORE giving up your cash...

I dont even go to the ATM before I verify the items...

Yeah!
 

She didnt deserve it but then again if you are that dumb then you kind of deserved it. For example, many people who purchased a green dot card from Wal-mart complained months ago about someone who sent them an e-mail that told them that they won a prize but first put $500 dollars in their green dot card and give them all the information to it. Many people actually fell for it lol Im sorry but they deserved it. Sometimes it takes hard lessons for people to actually learn a lesson.

If its too good to be true 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time it is.

Great deal on a car......it a p.o.s.

Great deal on a house........may want to get that checked out, cuz there is a reason

Excellent offer of someone helping you financially......yea right

Amazing weight loss pill/machine/diet........get real

Anyhow, yeah she did not do the research - bought a high priced item without checking much...no, she messed up - caveat emptor :(

Wow lol I never thought I'd say this lol but the bitch shudder have used PayPal haha

Sorry I shouldn't swear apologies if I offended everyone

Hopefully she will wear lenses with her glasses next time she comes across one of these.

hahaha loophole

She deserved it. Cmon cant be that stupid to buy something that cost alot of money for a cheap price without checking it. Biggest red flag was she didnt check it in front of him. Should of said open it up and show me and Ill pay you 200 bucks.
