A twenty-one year old woman from Brisbane placed an advert on Gumtree recently saying she wanted to purchase a couple of iPhones.  A short while later she received a call from a woman saying she had just the phones she was looking for.

Delighted and excited, she arranged to meet the seller at a nearby McDonalds where she handed over $1500 for two iphones.  The boxes looked brand new, but she didn’t open them until she got home only to find each one containing a real apple!

You know it makes sense!
