So much for the ‘Avoid scams and fraud deal locally!’ bit.
How about ‘Deal locally and get shot in the face!’?
Here is the latest Craigslist hustle in Durham, North Carolina.
Edwin Langlois, 21, Jahid Diggs, 17, and Ashton Darielle Byrd, 17 – were put in lock-down on robbery charges in connection with the crimes, which occurred May 5 and May 17.
The Craigslist victims said that they were responding to an online listing for a motorcycle. The first victim, a 36-year-old Virginia man, said several armed men approached him and looted his ring, a cell phone and $4,000 in cash. The second victim, a 34-year-old man was able to get away after a teenager pointed a gun at him and several shots were fired.
All three criminals are now serving several years in prison for these robberies.
I live and work close to Durham and I can tell you it isn’t somewhere you want to get lost, day or night. Its like that wild territory you see on the mini-map during a RPG game, once you enter it your vulnerability goes up by like 25%.
Be smart people, carry a Tech-9 when dealing locally.
