Source : Woman buys Apple phones online, conned into paying $1200 for 2 apples

Melbourne: A 21-year-old Australian woman who was trying to buy Apple smartphones online was conned into paying USD 1,200 for two edible apples!

The woman, who has not been named, had posted an ad on website Gumtree asking to buy two Apple smartphones. She was soon contacted by another woman who said she had 'two Apples' for sale.

They met at a McDonald's restaurant where the woman handed over the money for what she thought were two new smartphone boxes. The buyer did not check inside the boxes and on arriving home found they contained real apples.

Senior Constable Jess Hopkin of the Crime Prevention Unit in Upper Mt Gravatt, near Brisbane, warned people to be careful when buying things online, according to 'Herald Sun'. "If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. It's really just common sense," said Hopkin.

Gumtree spokeswoman Niki Hennessy said the company took the safety and security of its users seriously. "We are continually improving processes and user education to make Gumtree the safest possible platform for buying and selling," she said.

I am very impressed with the quick heal sales lead, he managed to sell and get a huge deal, he is certainly going to get a huge bonus.
I work in the software industry, and I have seen the high flying, highly paid sales director fly across the world selling our software licenses in bulk to random people, they just buy it... LOL... damn.. good.

what you should understand is, the govt don't want to buy it, the sales people contact, convince and win.
also the procurement team at govt side is involved, some bribe is also involved... its a win win for them... loss for the country.

I think that the dumbest thing on Internet is the Noobs uploading videos on YouTube of their capture of Indian Railways' trains. That must be in Gigabytes if not in Terabytes.

In my college, 70% of the faculty is pursuing mtech from the same college itself. They have a subject 'parallel computing' in which they are also taught about gpu computing. Now the best part is, even after clearing the semester, everything thinks gpus are available only in the form of clusters costing lakhs of rupees. When I told them that I had an nvidia gpu earlier, they were shocked as hell. They still dont know know that a graphic card contains a gpu.

If they're faculty, WHAT THE HELL are you doing in that college?!

There was this Faculty at N*IT , teaching Java Programming Course to one of my friend , who is in High School.
The faculty was inserting the USB Drive in HDMI jack of the Graphic Card in the rear of the Cabinet.When someone helped her out , she started complaining to the lab incharge that why the hell they keep upgrading and making things more complicated.!!!! :p

I Still wonder , what she teaches those kids about Java. Dayum!!!! The level of education in India.

Well there's nothing wrong with the education system in India, its more of people.

I doubt, they have ever seen DVI or HDMI during their academics, so there's nothing wrong in admitting it.

Forget about your Faculty, there are even people who owns High End RIG's in this forum, who still wonders what a DP & DVI cable looks like ??

Period....

^^ I have been realizing it of late, a rich guy will just hire a techie to setup his home theater and forget about it while he enjoys life. does not care what dvi hdmi is.. works then great, else call that support guy home to fix..
is he a n00b uneducated dumb a.s.s ? probably not, he is more highly educated, has great job and also has traveled around the world, has great experiences to share! not n00b.

Not Knowing things is necessarily called as N00b, but Goofing things will.

When you have a laptop and and a usb drive and you still plug it in HDMI port, of another PC .What should I call that person ?
Isn't that dumb enough that being an IT faculty one should be aware of basic peripherals and common stuff. ?
