Story from Jam Press (Clay iPhones) Pictured: The clay iPhones. Duped woman spends ??2,000 on two new iPhones???but they were made of clay A duped woman was in shock when she realised the two iPhones she???d bought from an online seller were made of clay. The 36-year-old businesswoman had seen the pair of iPhone 15 Pro Max's for sale on a social media marketplace. She???d contacted the seller and the two had arranged to meet to complete the transaction. She told local media he???d seemed trustworthy, as reported on??NeedToKnow. She said: ???He gave his home address, he was constantly posting his face all over the internet. ???So, to me, it was very clear that everything was genuine.???

The woman says the suspect later threatened her and her family. So she was relieved when she heard he???d been arrested in Belo Horizonte on Thursday (25 Apr). According to the police, he is a 31-year-old influencer with nearly 300,000 social media followers. He is denying guilt, but the police say there???s evidence he committed extortion aggravated by the use of a firearm. The woman said: ???I???d never seen anything like it in my life. The box was impeccable, brand new, sealed. ???I was f
