Pretending to be a woman, three men would troll the internet looking for lonely guys, get them to show up for a rendezvous with lots of cash, and then rob them.
Three suspects were recently arrested.
When searching for potential victims, the trio would go online and pose as a woman looking for love.
Believing they were chatting up an interested female, the male victim would agree to meeting up in person.
That’s when the three would make it interesting and set the stage for their crime.
They’d tell the eager guy to bring a bunch of cash because they - the pretend lady - wanted to roll around in it.
Expecting nothing but good times, the guy would show up for the tryst loaded up with bills.
That’s when the robbers struck, Two of them – one believed to be carrying a gun and the other a knife – would attack and take the money.
The most recent victim lost 1500 dollars in the set-up.
Three confirmed robberies have occurred and police are looking for more victims to come forward.
