Online iPhone Scam Serves Up Real Apples
An Australian woman reportedly received real Apples instead of the iPhones she thought she was purchasing from a seller met through online classifieds site Gumtree.
The 21-year-old from Brisbane arranged with a female seller to purchase a pair of iPhones after posting an ad on the site, the Herald Sun reported last week. After meeting the seller at a McDonald's and handing over $1,500 Australian ($1,335), the scam victim was "handed two iPhone boxes that looked new but she did not check inside."
The buyer only discovered that the boxes contained apples of the fruit variety and not Apple smartphones when she returned home.
