Man Robbed by Teen Girls, Thought He was Meeting MySpace Friend
Fox 30 ^

Posted on 06/27/2006 7:41:45 AM PDT by Borges

A Jacksonville man says he was duped and robbed by two girls after attempting to meet with a woman he met on the internet.

The victim says he chatted online with a woman, known on her MySpace.com profile as “Natalia”, for two weeks before deciding to meet with her. He says her prfile showed sexy photos, and a blurb which said “just lookin’ for something fun”. That brief, friendly description was all he knew about her before they planned to meet.

"She sent me a message saying she thought she met me somewhere," says the victim.

They decided to meet at what she called her home at the Bentley Green Apartments.

“I went to [the apartment] and knocked on the door, and there was no answer. So I called her and said, ‘I'm here’ and there was no answer."

That is when two girls who were 14 and 15-years-old, approached him saying they knew Natalia, the girl he thought he'd be meeting. They also said they knew where he worked at what car he drove.

"This was not the girl that the picture was of on MySpace," the victim said.

Now sensing something was wrong, he was ready to take off, but was stopped by a shocking discovery.

"[One of the girls] took [a] gun out and put it to my head and told me to empty my pockets."

The girls didn't get much because the victim had forgotten his wallet. They let him go, unharmed, and he called police.

Police did a search of the area and found the two teens with another male suspect. They searched a purse and found two loaded handguns.

Myspace.com may have been developed for friends and music, but this victim had to find out the hard way that not everyone is logging on for the right reasons.

The so-called Natalia did tell the victim that she was 18, so he was shocked to learn he was actually talking to a 14-year-old. He says he has since removed personal information from his MySpace profile, like his salary and the kind of car that he drives.

Those teenagers are now charged with armed robbery and carrying a concealed firearm.

Well, we can all thank this moron for being a moron. He successfully handed these two little queens a 10 year sentence. Florida has a wonderful thing called "10-20-life". They won't be bothering anyone soon. :-)

"10-20-LIFE

In 1999, Governor Bush signed into law the 10-20-LIFE bill. The law requires a minimum 10-year sentence for crimes committed with a gun, a 20-year sentence for firing the gun during the commission of a crime and 25 years to life if the bullet fired causes death or injury."

He's trying to have it two ways. He chatted with her for two weeks, therefore he had some knowledge of her. On the other hand, all he knew about her was from some photos and come comments.

Good points, the article is sorta sketchy in details on the chat. Also, we don't know even if he was chatting to one of the girls, both the girls, or the boy the article mentions (or all three were in it together). One thing is for certain, it doesn't take much cunning to fool certain people.

Do you remember that person we had on FR for a very long time called "SnowBunny"... Deception can occur even on FR and can weave a whole lot of tangled webs. It had me fooled I must admit and I am no spring chicken (later fall chicken I am). LOL..

Good chatting Enterprise..

When are people going to realize that meeting someone they 'met' on line in anything but a very public setting is lunacy? (They should take at least one friend with them too!)

". I also think there are lot's of incredibly dense people out there who think that by going to the nightclubs and swinger bars, they are going to find someone to have a meaningful long term realtionship with."

Some of those incredibly dense people hang out on MySpace.

Based on the entire article, I think his story stinks.

Hey, I like the sound of that 10-20-Life law. How is it working so far?

I think the entire article stinks. It was poorly written and not enough information was provided. The poor writing skills of the "journalist" have ended up confusing the few facts that are presented. I don't understand how someone with such poor reporting skills is actually making a living as a reporter. They are a beacon of hope to slackers everywhere.

while I don't automatically assume the guy was after jailbait, I *do* conclude that he was a horny fool who should learn that all first-time IRW meets with any kind of internet chum should always occur in a crowded public venue.

But then I would be since I'm really a 13-year-old girl named Jessica who's just out to meet generous older men for some fun...

Gosh, Jessica! You've been FReeping since you were 5!

Note that he didn't quit MySpace. Just took his salary and type of car off his profile! Egad.

Good thing she was just "looking for fun" and wasn't looking for "toomuchfun". She would've gotten the allegedly murderous Darren Mack as a MySpace friend.

That's called the KGOY syndrome, in marketing. It's "Kids Getting Older Younger." Seriesly.

MySpace: Where men are men, women are men, and underage girls are undercover cops.

I agree with you, sir. The last place I would look for a soulmate, or even some nooky : ) would be the internet.
