It probably sounded like a great idea over MySpace, Facebook, or whatever conniving teens are using to hatch their plans these days, but in the end the group behind the Porsche Craigslist scams were arrested by the police. Seven teens, all city residents, between 16-19 years old, were arrested. Two of the teens were charged in connection with both robberies. The two phony ads were placed by Agniesika Banach, 17, from Maspeth. Also charged in both cases was Khaliek Owens of Brooklyn, who is 16. The other five suspects were only charged on one case each. The two robberies occurred in Long Island, where prospective buyers were lured to buy a 2002 Porsche for $44,000. Upon arriving, the buyers were attacked and robbed.

These teens may not be old enough to know yet, but rarely do people actually carry tens of thousands of dollars in actual cash to purchase a car. Perhaps that's why the teenagers were only able to rob their victims of $50 in one case and a few thousand dollars in another.

Maybe in a few years, they can move onto a Craigslist real estate scam - For Rent: HUGE Brooklyn loft for rent by owner! Must pay first and last month's rent plus security deposit upon lease signing. Apartment is a steal! Bring cash to walk away with the keys today!
