A pair of men impersonated actual customers who purchased laptops at Apple stores and other businesses by using fraudulent IDs and bogus QR codes, according to the Glendale Police Department.

Paul Giles said he was a victim of one of these scams. He wasn’t aware until he tried to pick up his purchase at the Americana at Brand.

“From the time I got the initial email from Apple saying it’s ready to pick up and the time that they actually went to the store to pick it up,” Giles said.

The victim said the theft happened in a matter of about four hours.
