CRAIGSLIST ADS RESULT IN THREE ROBBERIES – The ad on Craigslist touted a top model iPhone for just $300. A Kansas City man jumped at the chance. He called the phone number from the ad, gathered $300, met the man and got a gun pointed in his face. The same thing happened hours earlier to another man nearby, and to yet another man in October. ... The most recent victim said he had a bad feeling when he pulled into a dark parking lot and saw two men looking around. Something about them made him fearful. “I thought about driving away. I almost left,” he said. “I don’t know why I stayed.” ... Bringing a friend or relative helps, but did not prevent two of the three recent robberies.

See Intuition and use “common sense” (which is not very common): If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true – especially in a dark parking lot.
