It's not fraud. You can buy Applecare+ within 30 days of buying a new iPhone. AFAIK, there are no prerequisites about what condition that iPhone must be in.
LOL, unfortunately my mom just told my dad the truth. But no worries - according to her he did not say anything, just looked to see if anything happened to it but in a badly lit room he didn't seem to tell...
He got the Apple black leather case today haha. My mom told him the truth though... not sure why LOL.
Why is it unfortunate that she she told him the truth ? Now she doesn't have to worry about lying to him and the distrust that lying causes.
I sure hope that you learn why she did before you get in a long term relationship/get married and have kids. I suggest that you ask her why she told him and listen.
It's an iPhone - it's not cheating. I actually felt bad cause she didn't want to tell him / pretended like nothing happened. However, my dad went to go buy a case the next day (and the Apple leather cases are pretty snug - once it's in there, you can't take it out) so it's not like he was going to notice it.
