If you’ve ever been on the Internet you’ve likely seen a pop-up saying you could win a free iPhone or iPad. Of course, they’re always scams, usually from some bot trying to access your information. Well, the latest scam to afflict Apple seems to be coming from some dodgy customers. The scam looks like the consumer is being ripped off. In the comments section of posts on Amazon, customers are uploading pictures of iPhone boxes filled with clay and claiming that they never received the phone. One Sherlock Holmes of a customer figured out the entire thing. Cory Klein was attempting to buy a phone and reviewing the comments. He writes: “To those wondering what is going on here, let me explain. The reviewer (sarvjit dhillon) is likely scamming the person who sold them the iPhone. Sarvjit likely bought a legitimate iPhone and when it arrived he pocketed the phone and then placed the clay in the box and filed a dispute with Amazon claiming that no iPhone was delivered.” Amazon as the retailer, is responsible for replacing the product explains Klein. “If the seller has not 100% covered all their bases to prove that they actually shipped the iPhone, then Amazon will likely resolve the claim in favour of Sarvjit - he gets to keep the real iPhone and his purchase gets refund, leaving the seller holding the bag.” So the customer is likely ending up with two iPhones for the price of one or a refund and an iPhone. Then they sit back and play with their clay and plan their next evil scheme. Try it at your peril.
