3 more women come forward in Brockton craigslist robberies

August 21, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

Brockton police: fifth woman has come forward in Craigslist case:

I originally posted about Luther Mark Henderson here. He’s the man from Brockton, Mass. accused of robbing two craigslist escorts at gunpoint. Now three more women have come forward saying the same thing had happened to them.

The sad part is that the police can’t confirm yet if the latest 3 were arrested by Henderson yet. Which means there could be more women who have had ads placed on craigslist getting possibly robbed at gunpoint by other men. As I mentioned before a lot of prostitutes don’t even get to keep the money they make as it’s taken by their pimps or traffickers.

Yet craigslist still insists that the adult services section causes no harm.

Stay tuned Monday for the next chance to win your own craigscrimelist t-shirt.

Stafford craigslist robbers arrested

August 17, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

Craigslist robberies bring 3 arrests:

I originally posted about the Stafford, Virginia craigslist robberies here. Basically the suspects used the promise of high end goods like iPhones at cheap prices to lure their victims.

Police have arrested 3 suspects in those robberies and they are Rashad Jamar Lightfoot, 19, Jarren Arees Fields, 20, and Adrian Marquelle Clark, 20.

Remember, as the old saying goes if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Mass. man arrested for robbing craigslist escorts

August 17, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

Brockton man accused of making Craigslist escorts strip naked at gunpoint before robbing them:

Police in Brockton, Mass. have arrested 35-year-old Luther Mark Henderson for allegedly robbing escorts that advertised on craigslist. He’s accused of forcing them to strip down and robbing them at gunpoint.

The insular Boston media likens Henderson’s MO to that of the recently deceased Philip Markoff. What they fail to mention is that Markoff did not invent robbing craigslist escorts. This has been going on at least as long as I’ve been doing this blog.

The worst part is that these women that are forced to work on craigslist usually do not even have money of their own. They usually have to give all their money to their pimps or traffickers. I wonder how many women and girls have been beaten or worse by their pimps after they’ve been robbed.

Stay tuned next week for the next chance to win your own craigscrimelist t-shirt.

Again if you want to use a free classifieds site that is free of human trafficking I recommend Geebo.com.

Sisters arrested for craigslist robbery

August 4, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

Raleigh man’s craigslist deal no bargain when bullets fly:

28-year-old Sherida Quanette Bullock and 21-year-old Acqua Bullock, both of Wendell, North Carolina, were arrested for allegedly trying to rob a man who thought he was buying smart phones off of craigslist.

Shots were fired but luckily the victim was not injured.

Like I say, friends don’t let friends use Craigslist. But we need somewhere to go for classified ads. Personally, I recommend Geebo.com for a socially responsible alternative to community classifieds.

But you can’t get robbed when you win a free CCL t-shirt.

Woman selling bike on craigslist pistol whipped

July 31, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

Woman pistol-whipped by customer:

A woman in Newport Beach, California was pistol whipped after trying to sell a bike on craigslist. The suspect came to her house asking about the bike and when she walked away from the house the suspect hit her on the head with a gun.

The woman screamed so I’m assuming the suspect ran off. I would at least hope that he was trying to rob her and not anything more malicious.

The suspect is still at large.

Never do business at your home.

Craigslist robbery in Milton, Mass.

July 28, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

3 robbed in Milton after responding to Craigslist ad:

3 men from Rhode Island were robbed at gunpoint after responding to a craigslist ad from Milton, Mass. for a TV. The address they were sent to was a vacant apartment. One of the victims went inside alone where he was held at gun point by two men. The suspects then went and got the other two victims out of the car. All the victims were robbed of their cash and belongings and one was even beaten. The two suspects are still at large.

Considering one of the victims went into the apartment by himself leads me to believe that he thought doing business on craigslist is a safe experience when obviously it isn’t. As I’ve said before craigslist is the online hive of scum and villainy and you’d be surprised how many people are unaware of this.

Don’t forget to enter to win your own CCL T-Shirt so you can help make people more aware.

Man pretends to be cop to avert craigslist robbery

July 27, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

Quick-Thinking Victim Scares Away Robbers:

In Ypslanti, Michigan a man was almost robbed while trying to complete a craigslist transaction in a park.

The man was approached by one person from the front and two from behind. The victim says he started acting like a police officer and scared the would be robbers away. While this worked for him this is one of the more stupid things you can do. Sometimes criminals are not intimidated by police and you could end up getting hurt or worse.

However the article provides a good tip from a passer by.

“I’ve sold bicycles, and house-hold goods. I usually don’t have people come to my house. I usually request their phone number instead of me giving them my phone number,” Maes said.

While not foolproof in this day of caller ID it can be helpful.

Man robbed at gunpoint in Vallejo, CA

July 21, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | View Comments

Craigslist scammers rob man at gunpoint in Vallejo:

A San Francisco man was robbed of $2000 in Vallejo, California after responding to a craigslist ad for a used car.

While the man was looking for an address that didn’t exist a man jumped out of the bushes and robbed the man at gunpoint.

Police say this is the second time a craigslist robbery like this has happened in the area.

Again when you use a website that has a low threshold of entry and unmonitored ads criminals are bound to flock to it.
