Two Maryland-based iPhone fraudsters who cheated Apple out of $2.5M were handed prison sentences yesterday, and ordered to pay restitution. The fraud was one we’ve seen before, where the scammers bought realistic but non-functional iPhone clones and spoofed the serial numbers to give them the identity of real devices covered by AppleCare. The sums required to be repaid will represent the amounts they actually obtained by selling the iPhones, rather than the full extent of Apple’s loss.
