I've even got friends who are scared of that - apparently it's a real thing that when you show up to sell something (camera, lens, phone) multiple people will be there to distract you, snatch it and run. Even in broad daylight in a crowded area.
- amatecha 7y agoOh yeah, I actively assume such a setup is in place every time I go to make a Craigslist exchange. Thus far has never happened, but even if they tried it wouldn't succeed. Multiple family members in police services has helped me know the "tricks of the trade" from a young age, hahah ^_^
- Ghjklov 7y agoCan you expand on what tricks they use and what to look out for ? Would love to know
- devilbunny 7y agoI can see this. Offer to meet them at a police station. If it's a phone, meet them at your carrier's store and have a rep confirm that the phone will work and can be activated on their network (no IMEI block, correct frequencies, etc.).
