SPARTANBURG, SC (WIS) - Spartanburg County deputies are looking for two men who sold a piece of wood painted to look like an iPad to a woman in a McDonald's parking lot.

Ashley McDowell, 22, told deputies she was buying food around 10:00 p.m. Monday when two men approached her in the parking lot trying to sell her an iPad or a laptop. According to a police report, the men showed McDowell a new iPad and told her they had bought several in bulk.

McDowell said she gave the men $180, and the men gave her a FedEx box out of the trunk of their car. When McDowell opened the box at home, she said she found a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo.

McDowell told deputies one of the suspects had a gold tooth and was driving a white Chevy Impala with no rims and no tint.

One of the oldest cons there is . . . and idiots are still falling for it. I feel no empathy for anyone who gets scammed that way. If a deal seems too good to be true, it is.

The woman is an idiot. Stupid people deserve what they get.

She probably voted for barry as well.

So dumb. In New York, people were always complaining to the cops because they had bought a video or CD from a Senagalese off of a blanket on the sidewalk...and the box was empty. But heck, the would-be purchasers either thought it was a pirated pre-release copy or actually stolen from a truck in hard copy, so it was hard to feel sorry for them.

I’ll bet she bought it from ‘Irish Travelers’ from North Augusta.

They are notorious for scams.

Sell it on e-bay. It’s definitely a limited edition.

Because checking the contents before taking it might offend the criminal element you are buying it from.

Well, without any rims, they couldn't have gotten far.
