澳洲女網購蘋果手機 收到兩顆蘋果

An Australian woman who paid £800 for two new Apple iPhones lost her money when she opened the boxes - and found two real green apples inside.

一位澳大利亞女子花了800英鎊買了兩部新的蘋果iPhone手機，在收到盒子的時候卻發現裏面只有兩顆真正的青蘋果，這名女子的錢就這麼打水漂了。

The 21-year-old Brisbane woman had placed an advertisement in an online buy-and-sell site saying she was looking to purchase a number of iPhones.

這名21歲的女子來自澳大利亞東部城市布里斯班，她在一個在線購物網站發廣告表示自己想求購幾部iPhone手機。

Police in the Queensland town of Upper Mt Gravatt, near Brisbane, said that not long after the advert was placed in the Gumtree site a woman called and said she had two Apples for sale.

昆士蘭Upper Mt Gravatt 小鎮上的警方表示，廣告發布在這個叫Gumtree的網站後，一名女子打電話過來聲稱自己有兩部蘋果手機要出售。

Senior Constable Jess Hopkin of the Upper Mt Gravatt Crime Prevention Unit said the two women arranged to meet at a McDonald`s outlet, where the transaction took place.

Upper Mt Gravatt預防犯罪機構的高級警員傑西-霍普金說，這兩名女子安排在麥當勞會面進行交易。

The purchaser handed over $1500, the equivalent of £800, and was given two new iPhone boxes in return, the Quest community newspaper of Queensland reported today. Her mistake was to not look inside.

根據昆士蘭當地報紙的報道，買家付了1500美元（約爲800英鎊），拿到了兩個新的iPhone手機盒，但她犯了個嚴重的錯就是沒檢查盒子裏面。

On returning home the young woman opened the boxes and found to her horror that they contained real apples.

一回到家打開盒子，她很驚恐地發現盒子裏裝着的竟然是真正的蘋果。

Senior Constable Hopkin warned people to be wary when they buy anything online.`If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. It`s really just common sense.` she said.

霍普金警員警告大家網購時需謹慎。她表示：“如果你覺得某件事兒太好了，好得非常不真實，那十有八九就是假的，這真的是常識問題。”

Commentators writing on an online site weren`t letting the buyer off the hook with their criticism.

不過購物網站上的評論者們可不會這麼輕易放過這個倒黴的買家，他們對這位姑娘大加批評。

`I don`t know anyone that would hand over $1500 to a stranger without checking the item,` wrote one man. `Besides, you can buy a brand new iPhone5 for $700. So if this is a true story then I`m sorry but she deserved it!`

一位男子這樣寫道：“我從來還沒見過這麼傻的人，不檢查物品就把1500美元交給一個陌生人。再說，現在一部全新iPhone5手機售價也只要700美元。如果這是個真故事，那隻能說這姑娘活該了！”
