I paid your stupid tax for the year so you don’t have to. 🤦♀️
July 23rd, I was approached in the Lowe’s hardware parking lot (1575 US-70, Garner) by a white male (early 30s) with a Eastern European accent driving a white Jeep with Massachusetts plates carrying several passengers.
He offered me “new” Apple AirPods and an Apple Watch Ultra 3 in convincing shrink-wrapped Apple boxes. He even demonstrated the watch pairing with what appeared to be the Apple Watch app. Since I didn’t have cash, he followed me to the Family Fare gas station (1535 NC-50) ATM, where I withdrew $200 for the watch and two pairs of AirPods.
The AirPods work but sound questionable. The watch is 100% counterfeit. It directs you to download VVfit instead of using Apple’s Watch app, has a fake part number (MF0M4LL/8), and uses a cloned Apple serial number that even shows valid AppleCare.
I’m reporting it to Garner PD, the NC Attorney General, and Apple.
If someone in a white Jeep with Massachusetts plates offers you “brand new” Apple products for cash, keep driving. I paid the stupid tax so hopefully you don’t have to.
