The alleged fraud cost the tech giant some $900,000.
A man suspected of conning Apple out of almost 1,500 iPhones has pleaded guilty to his involvement in a fraud that cost the company some $900,000.
More than 3,000 warranty claims linked to Jiang complained of handsets that wouldn’t turn on, court documents revealed. According to the affidavit, the former student sent roughly 2,000 phones to Apple as part of bogus repair requests in 2017. Jiang is thought to have used numerous aliases to throw the company off his tracks.
Federal investigators began probing the shipments after a number of packages from Hong Kong were flagged as suspicious. Apple told investigators Jiang’s specific complaint—that the phones wouldn’t switch on—exploited a fast-track replacement procedure. Engineers are unable to immediately examine phones that don’t power up, Apple said, according to court documents, per Inkstone. The tech giant did not immediately respond to Newsweek’s request for comment.
