SC woman’s $180 iPad turns out to be block of wood

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — There probably isn’t an app for this.

A Spartanburg woman told deputies that the iPad she bought from two men in a McDonald’s restaurant parking lot turned out to be a block of wood painted black with an Apple logo.

The 22-year-old woman told authorities the men first told her they were selling the iPads they bought in bulk for $300, but agreed to sell her one for $180 when she said that was all the money she had.

Authorities say the men gave her a closed FedEx box, and she didn’t discover she had bought a block of wood until she got home.

Deputies are investigating the swindle.
