Hiring Homeless People To Stand In Iphone Shop Lines, Backfires

In :


Los Angeles:The new Iphone is the priced collection for iphone fans and some have gone to an extend never seen before. The shoppers in Los Angeles was found to hire homeless people to stand up in line for them to purchase the new iphone. But this plan backfired as one of the bulk purchases went out without giving out payment to the persons who stood in line.


The homeless people were given a sum of $40 to stand in line and purchase the phone. One incident cites that a mentally ill person was hired and ended up him being running a mile before the police caught and placed him under 72 hour mental health hold.

Another case went bad when a would-be entrepreneur was caught by police while he was grabbing the newly purchased iphone cases into his bag. The person was arrested around 9.30am and escorted by Police cruiser. This resulted in another chaos as the people who were hired by him did not get paid after the incident.

Dominoe Moody, 43, told the Los Angeles Times he was driven the 10 miles or so to Pasadena from Los Angeles with several vanloads of people to wait in line overnight.

Moody was promised $40 but said he wasn't paid because after handing the man an iPhone, the man was escorted away by police when people became angry with him.

"It didn't go right. I stood out here all night," Moody told the newspaper, adding that he has no way to get back to Los Angeles.

The man is suspected to have recruited 70-80 people for waiting in line and did not pay them. Although this was claimed nothing illegal but the person claims that the police was not investigating this issue.

Another incident reported says that two people were involved in fist fight and were arrested. Although no serious injuries are yet reported.

The iphone 5S and iphone 5C series were released world wide this Friday.
