Psst - wanna buy a fake bargain?

WE know the economy here is Greece is in a parlous state and people will do what they can to make money, but we came across a new one today.

  Shopping in Hersonissos at the international company Lidl, as we loaded up our purchases, a very suspicious man edged up to our car.

   He said nothing at first, but then, offered a brand new ""Apple iPhone""  It's genuine he said when he realised we were English. It only 100 euro today special offer. First of all it could not have been genuine for that money, or secondly it was stolen. It could even been the kind they have in phone shops - the dummy ones that look the part for sales but actually have nothing inside the case. Did it come with a charger, did it work??

 We could not believe that he thought that anyone would even give it a fraction of their time to buying such a fake..Are there really people in this day and age who would fall for it - we certainly hope not.
