So if you’re one of the multitude of people who have signed up for this group on Facebook – I have some news for you. It’s a scam. Seriously – did you really think you were going to get a free iPad? Did you really think that Apple wouldn’t have a closed user group testing it to within an inch of its life? Did you seriously think that people would just give them away on Facebook?

It’s a scam.

I had a whole post prepared in my head, but then I found this one – which does a much better job than mine would have. It also has a lot more pictures. Which should help a lot.

In all seriousness though – as the title of this post says, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
