YEP they sent a text to my phone to. this is deff a SCAM.

That message - 1000 free I-Pads - is all over this board. They are texting from at least 50 different numbers.  I'm convinced its a scam.

BTW - All Apple products are tested by Apple employees.  They do not recruit outsiders to test for them.

I got this text message also.  I'm suspicious of it being a scam -- "too good to be true...".  Has anyone found out who this is?

Apple is looking to test IAD 3. only the first 1000 people will receive it.
