Teen sisters lose $5,000 in iPhone4 scam

[MarrickG]

It was, to them, too good a deal to pass up - buy two 32GB iPhone 4s at $350 each and get another one for free.

The model sells for $1,048 without a contract.

But after the three sisters sank in about $5,000 of their savings, along with two other girls, they realised it was a scam.

It started with an ad on Gumtree Singapore - a classified ads website - which a classmate showed to 17-year-old Tan Hui Ting.

They transferred various amounts to bank accounts in the UK and Nigeria beginning earlier this month and have been waiting in vain to get 36 phones.

Seriously, we need more stupid people. So that intelligent beings like me can take advantage of them.

Sam as usual, u are missing the point. Its not that fools and their money are soon parted. Its that 2 17 year old girls have $5000 in savings. Wow. There are entire households who don't have $5000 in savings. That's quite a bit of money for 2 girls to have.

$5000 is less than a peanut. It's chickenshit. Girls can easily earn that sort of money in a week.
