Digital Trends - Earlier this week, 22-year-old Angela McDowell of Spartanburg, South Carolina was leaving a McDonalds whenÂ*approachedÂ*by two men in the parking lot. Inside a large cardboard box, the men claimed to be selling discount iPads for $300 based off a volume discount. After showing her a working model, the duo convinced McDowell to purchase an iPad. While McDowell was only able to offer $180 for a new iPad, the deal was quickly made and McDowell received a sealed, cardboard FedEx box. When she returned home, she opened the box and found a piece of wood painted to look like an iPad (pictured above). The plank had the Apple logo painted on the back of the unit and Safari, Mail, Photos, and iPodÂ*app buttons on the front of the unit. The crooks even included a fake Best Buy label on the front of the wooden iPad.
