Local: Fremont Police Looking For Internet Scam Victims

Via NBC11.com.

Fremont police said they were looking for victims of a suspected scam artist who was now in jail.

Detectives told NBC 11 News that even they were impressed with his scheme. Detectives said the thief advertised his merchandise on the Web site craigslist.org. The suspect would set up a meeting with his unsuspecting clients and exchange cash for the goods.

"Once the transaction was completed, the customer would take the TV, laptop, PlayStation, and he would flee," said Fremont Detective Fred Bobbit. "And the customer would eventually find out it was nothing more than a piece of wood or bricks."
