£1 iPad Pro Scam

Hello Apple


I think there is a scam going around Facebook about paying £1 and us the public getting an iPad Pro and a free iPod Shuffle. Should this be something we should be wary of or is this true?

The fact you're asking at all is a good start - at least you're being skeptical.


For sure it is a scam. There is no way you're (legally) going to get an iPad Pro and an iPod Shuffle for £1. You're talking of, at least, £500 worth of equipment. For £1? Apple might enjoy reasonably high margins on their products, but they're not that high.


So, yes, it's a scam. Sometimes it's unclear as to what they're hoping to achieve, but the best approach is to just ignore them and save yourself the pain of losing £1 (at the very least)
