Woman buys iPad in a gas station parking lot, turns out to be fake

If someone is trying to sell you an iPad in a gas station parking lot in northern Texas, it’s probably bullshit. Just saying. Especially if it comes in plain white box that “feels right”, but the guy won’t actually let you see inside… it’s probably bullshit.

“He pulled up beside us, and he was like, ‘Hey, I’ve got some iPads and stuff, and I’ve got some laptops if you all are interested in buying,’” she said Wednesday.

When Freeman’s sister opened the package, it turned out to be a mirror about the size as the tablet.

“If you turn it on the back, it actually looks like an Apple iPad,” Freeman said. “And when you turn it to the front, it has the prices and stuff.”

It even had an Apple logo stuck on it.

Freeman reported the crime to Arlington police, but she never got a license plate number and she admits that investigators have little to go on.

She said she now feels stupid but has learned an important lesson.

“Don’t buy nothing on the streets from nobody,” she said.
