“I asked whether they were real and asked for the serial number.”
He stated that they had agreed to conclude the transaction at an Wawa at Town ‘n’ County , and all seemed to go according to plan.
“I took my friend along, and he connected the device with his iPhone and said, ‘hey they seem legitimate. They were connectedwithout issue,” he said.
The only problem isthat they weren’t authentic. Martin was scammed , and was able to find out this after comparing the earphones he purchased with one of his buddies.
