MIAMI- After enticing a man on Craigslist offering him a "great deal" 22 year old Steven Glass was arrested for robbery. The victim who wished to remain unidentified had fallen victim to a false craigslist advertisement. He was led to believe that the seller was offering a great price for a Sony PS3 which normally sells for $300.00 however, was advertised for $160.00. The $160.00 price was agreed upon and a meeting place along 18th Avenue and 20th Avenue was set in place.
Upon arrival the seller handed over the empty box to then abruptly seize the cash. Glass then proceeded to run towards an apartment complex. "The subject just totally snatches the money from the victim's hands and just runs," in a statement made by Miami Police Detective Willie Moreno.
As of late Craigslist has had some bad publicity, with the recent murder of a young woman who was interviewing for a position as a nanny. However, if you use prudence then there is no reason to fear this type of sale. Always remember that if you use caution by placing yourself in a safe position then your selling and buying experience can be safe, fun and profitable.
