Woman duped into buying 'mirror' iPad.

On my way to Ikoyi yesterday, I ran into a woman who was  narrating to a man how she was duped into buying an iPad. Although, I have heard such cases before, but this particular story, personally, is really surprising.
According to her, the man approached her saying that he needed cash urgently and was ready to sell his N108,000($800) iPad for N45000($300). The woman saw that price was good so, she paid him the money. The man gave her the iPad without her checking to see what inside, and then drove off.
Immediately the man drove off, she opened the box and to her regret, it was not an iPad but instead, only a mirror. The box had an Apple logo on the front. This made to assume that the product inside was genuine.
Her long for cheap product made her fall for this scammer. I believe this should serve as a warning to those who expensive product from street vendors, simply because they come cheap.
