There was an ad on freecycle.org (West Palm Beach) stating that there are free laptop computers, ipads, and notebooks available due to the company receiving new electronics/computers. The email claimed "items are not for sale, delivery charges are for those in need of laptops or ipads and can not come for pickup." A payment on amazon.com was to be made to cover delivery charges via amazon giftcard.
Payment for gift card was made to: [email protected]. I sent the payment on April 16, 2015 at 2:03pm (EST) and was redeemed immediately on the same day, April 16, 2015 at 2:07pm. A follow up text message and voicemail was sent to the number listed: 843-620-0932. They claim there are too many calls to handle so "pls text or leave a message as soon as you place order."
