Guys this online store is messing up. I received a free ipad and was never asked to pay! This is the second time I placed an order. The 1st one arrived via mail already. Hurry before they fix it! Go here: www.ipadhd23.com

If you go to the websites: www.ipadhd23.info and www.ipadhd23.com, will redirect you to  online advertisements or  surveys. Do not complete these surveys because you will not get what you were promised. The only persons that will benefit from this, are the scammers, who will be paid for each completed survey.
