Jalonta Freeman of Arlington, Texas was approached by a stranger at a gas station, selling what he claimed to be a brand new $800 iPad, for just $200. Freeman and her family did not want to miss out on an offer they thought seemed great, so they gave him cash for the tablet, and the man quickly drove away. When the package was finally opened, the Freeman family discovered the elaborately wrapped “iPad” was actually just a mirror about the size of a tablet. Freeman said she felt stupid, but learned a valuable lesson, and offered this advice, “Don’t buy anything on the streets from nobody.” An Arlington police spokesperson said that crimes of this kind always increase leading up to Christmas. Last year, incidents similar to this were reported in several states.
阿灵顿Jalonta Freeman,在德州的一个加油站被一个陌生人接近,出售他自称800美元买的全新的iPad,仅卖200美元。Freeman和她的家人都不想错过的一个看上去不错的出价,因此他们花现金买了平板电脑,那人很快就开车走了。当最终打开包装,Freeman家人发现精心包装的“iPad”实际上是一面和平板电脑差不多大小的镜子。Freeman说她觉得自己很愚蠢,但是上了宝贵的一课,而且给出了她的建议:“不要大街上的任何人那买东西。”阿灵顿的一个警察发言人说这种犯罪通常在圣诞节前比较猖狂。去年,类似的案件在几个州都报道过。
