The story advises the readers to be careful with deals that are too good to be true.

The woman paid $400 for an iPad, which was in fact just a piece of wood with some glass stuck to the front.

Not her best buy

If a man approaches you outside a Best Buy store with a complicated story about needing money to get home, and a surprisingly cheap iPad for sale, don’t believe him!

A woman in Daytona Beach, Florida, ¹learntthis the hard way after handing over $400 for what turned out to be a square piece of wood with a piece of glass stuck to the front. When the man, 39-year-old Torrance Canady, who ²had a long criminal record, ³was later caught by the police, several more fake Apple products ⁴were found in his car. There were two MacBooks which ⁵had been made from wood and which were covered in silver tape. An Apple logo ⁶had been cut out in the middle, and a Best Buy price tag stuck on the back. Canady insisted that he ⁷didn’t know the computers were fake and said he’d ‘bought them in a nearby town for his girlfriend’. He ⁸has been charged with selling fake electrical equipment and ⁹is being held in Volusia County jail.
