∞ The £200 bag of potatoes that was an iPad

Corey Tamas at Macgasm:

The sheister in question approached his mark in Dark Lane, Bentley and offered to sell him an iPad. Once agreeing on a price, they went off to a cash machine together and completed the transaction. After leaving the scene, the buyer discovered he had been sold a bag of potatoes (because why would you ever buy an iPad off a guy on the street and check what’s in the bag before parting ways?).

People, people, people.

    The ironic thing is, if the guy said he was selling the other guy a Playbook, the guy with the bag of potatoes would be all “I totally ripped that guy off!”

    I have never blamed the victim of a scam and won’t start now.

    But this is the closest I’ll ever get.
