Even in the U.S. comes the "scam of the homeless" to buy the iPhone

This strategy is born overseas but has become popular in America. Find out how to make buying an iPhone at no cost.

The scheme implemented in the United States is very similar to the one seen here in Italy: the scammer approaches to homelessness and despair (especially drug addicts looking for money) and offers him $ 200 to go to an Apple Store and you sign a contract for buying an iPhone through the operator. Once the transaction has been made, the scammer takes the iPhone and sells it at full price in markets where the device is not yet available.

The victim, however, will begin to receive the installments of the contract, which obviously can not pay. To convince him to sign, the scammers tell a series of tall tales, reassuring the homeless that the signature can be canceled after a few days. By the way, who should receive the money it can not retaliate against those who are destitute.

Fortunately, the police are already moving to discover the originators of this scam in the U.S. and there are already suspects.
