Man Conducts His Own Sting To Catch Craigslist Scammer [View all]

[Still Sensible]

Criminals make it so easy.... sometimes:

Tulsa, Oklahoma - Travis Repp pulled into the parking lot of Taco Bueno last week to get a good deal on a computer he found through Craigslist. Instead the seller pulled out a gun and took Repp's $350 in cash.

Determined to get justice, Repp devises a plan for his own sting to catch the man.

He pretended to be someone else responding to the same ad for the computer

"I created an Internet based number and texted the guy," said Repp. "And we kind of had a dialogue going back and forth," he said.
