Android Tablets? - Miles - 12-29-2012
I'm really interested in getting an Android tablet but I don't want to pay for one as I'm just an absolute cunt. Is there a way I could try social engineer one?

It'd most definitely be possible. You'd have to find a non-registered serial number, then go to the company and say something about the screen not turning on even though you've tried multiple ways of charging the tablet and have tried multiple chargers. You'd also have to make up a reason why you can't send it back, or just do the box method.

As Breshie said, it's doable. Much easier compared to Apple products.

Would either of you both be able to tell me which tablet would be the best to try this with?

Not entirely sure. Maybe one of Asus' products.

It's possible,
I just think it would be hard.

" I got scammed before can you send me the cerialz? "

Sony's lending them to developers and people waiting on their laptops being fixed. Use that.
