Wow shocked that didn't scream scam I mean yeah carparks are the best place to buy electroic goods.
That woman is practically too stupid to live. She talked to a pair of men who approached her at 10:00pm in the middle of a McDonald's parking lot, went with them to their van and told them exactly how much cash she had on her ($180). Doing just one of those things could have resulted in a kidnapping/raping/killing/mugging.
Also, they originally wanted $350 for their 'iPads', but cut the price nearly in half when she only had the $180.
Finally, I see the apple logo they carved into the wood as a final 'Fuck you, dumb-ass' to who ever bought their product.

So much for the old adage "Act your age, not your IQ". What do you do when they match?lovestomooch said:
Seriously, I have plenty of sympathy for people who are taken in by complex or believable scams, or who are desperate. But handing over almost $200 for an iPod from a guy in a parking lot, sight unseen... well, at some point you have to laugh at the stupid people, or they'll keep being stupid.

lol i remember that! that was awesome
OT: she pretty much deserved it i mean its in a parking lot behind a mcdonalds WTF
Tbh iPads are just big iPod Touches for people with fat fingers so Apple can rake in the money EVEN MORE. i like to mock people who buy them because all they are, are shiny bricks.
This Mcdowell person must either be a person who thinks she can trust all who she can come across (Stupid), or someone who doesnt know any better (Mentally handicapped).

Unfortunately people buy counterfeit goods all the time, or succumb to other scams that are too good to be true. If it didn't work, people wouldn't constantly try such outrageously obvious swindles like this, but it has worked and will continue to work.
Kind of like how there were thousands of counterfeit PAX Prime badges sold to folks this last weekend, by guys standing out in the street, right in front of the convention center, for a show that had been sold out for months.

Maybe she didn't open the envelope earlier because she thought that the iPad would imprint on the first human it saw, like a baby chick?
...Nah, I got nothing.

Saying she deserved what she got is pretty well the same argument as saying so-and-so deserved to have their car stolen because they forgot to lock the door, or to have their house ripped off because they took off for the weekend. Seriously....is she stupid? Yeah. Did she deserve this? No one does, and those jackasses who are ripping off idiots are still the real problem here, no matter how amusing her plight is.
