Post 3 arrested after man makes arrangements to meet over Xbox 360
Just a note for those 'too good to be true deals...' Looks like there is a few punk gangs who have discovered peoples greed for a bargain and throw caution to the wind. They got this bunch of punks... but the story clearly shows that there is more were this came from.

All the details in the Toronto Sun

Be very wary of large cash purchases at points of convenience or strange places.

People in their mid-20's hustling over $500 is stupid.

people hustling with a gun or knife point is plain stupid....

You mean if I had a gun and was in my mid 20's and stuck someone up for 2 bills, that would be OK?

well, they were caught for 3 according to the article, but who knows HOW many they really did...
prob. did some for laptops too, etc.. so it might be 10 of thousands they got. Hopefully more people will come forward and link more charges to them,

general article in the Sun, they might not even know of RFD, or they could be on RFD and a lot more, who knows... yeah, a more detailed article would have been nice. Like where the AD was posted, etc...

Well there's definitely people like that on RFD, so make sure you always check feedback and join date (posts), but even after than you can never be sure.

Default Let's make that a sticky
Why not make a sticky post with news like this one? It will be an eye opener when one get tempted to have a to-ggod-to-be-true deal. Any similar news will be added to that sticky.
