A Californian woman said she was turned away when she tried to pay $600 cash for one of Apple’s iPad tablets.
Dian Campbell was told that Apple requires customers to purchase iPads or iPods with debit or credit cards to prevent con artists from reselling them overseas.
Campbell is disabled and on a fixed income. She thought the mobile iPad would be the perfect fit for her first-ever computer.
“They hear of people buying 50 and 100 iPads at a time and going overseas and selling them (for) triple the amount,” Campbell said. “Mr. Jobs, give a sister a break. I’m not going to go sell my iPad.”
Campbell said she will keep the stash of bills handy, in case Apple changes its mind.
