A Spartanburg woman told deputies that the iPad she bought from two men in a McDonald's restaurant parking lot turned out to be a block of wood painted black with an Apple logo.
The 22-year-old woman told authorities the men first told her they were selling the iPads they bought in bulk for $300, but agreed to sell her one for $180 when she said that was all the money she had.
Authorities say the men gave her a closed FedEx box, and she didn't discover she had bought a block of wood until she got home.
Deputies are investigating the swindle.
