A news story out of Massachusetts caught my attention seeing as its really close to the holiday season and many of you are buying gifts for your loved ones. If your planning on buying yourself or someone an Apple iPad for the holiday season then this is for you. It seems that The customer went in to Best Buy to purchase an iPad for his son that was away at college. When they got the iPad home they tried to use it. They then noticed that the device did nothing, it was packaged with no power cord and little to no reading materials. When he tried to return it they accused him of trying to switch it out with a non working demo device.
Way’s to avoid something like this happening to you is open them in the store and verify that the device does work and function’s as it should.
Red Flags:
1. He gave his son the Ipad. (I’m guessing the box was still sealed).
2. It’s never explained if his son lives with him.
3. The guy wants a FREE iPad now. Not just his money back.
Possible explanations:
1. A Best Buy employee swapped the real iPad for the dummy ipad and re-sealed the package. (Most Probable)
2. The guy is lying, and now wants 2 iPads.
3. His son could of swapped the ipad for the dummy.
4. A friend of the son’s could of swapped it.
Solution:
1. The iPad’s S/N is On the receipt and Box it came with.
2. Find the MAC address for that particular iPad and see where
the internet is being used from.
3. Track it.
4. Throw someone in Jail.

I know its more complicated than that… but obviously someone has that iPad and is using it
to get online. Just sayin LOL
You’d have to be a dumb ass not to be able to notice the difference between a real and a fake ipad.
