22 Mar 09 Apple Scammed Out of 9,000 iPod shuffle
There’s a new crime involving Apple products and this time the iPods got hit. Nicholas Arthur Woodhams is a 23 year old guy from Michigan that managed to con Apple into shipping him about 9,000 iPod shuffles. He guessed thousands of valid shuffle serial numbers and he had replacements shipped to him. A lot of them. Naturally then he sold it for prices well under the MSRP while giving Apple a prepaid VISA number that would reject any charges after he failed to return the “originals” back. There’s no happy end as he was just charged of fraud and money laundering while the feds have already seized half a million dollars from one brokerage account, real estate and a few vehicles.
