Learning from Victims

CRAIGSLIST TRAPS (or any want-ad)

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.
Excerpted from The Kansas City Star – 03 December 2008

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.

See Criminal Minds - Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and Outdoor Safety - Friendly Predators.

To see how your want-ads, yard sales, wedding announcements, etc. put you at risk (criminals commonly search for golden opportunities to target you), go to Home Security: Want-Ads on Cracks in Home Security (roughly halfway down the page).
