MySpace meeting ends with robbery at gunpoint
This has nothing to do really with Internet safety for parents, though it is an issue of not-everyone-is-who-they-say-they-are. In this case, a would-be predator showed up to a house where he thought he was going to meet a girl he met on MySpace and instead was robbed at gunpoint! Hahahah! Awesome.
But seriously, not everyone is who they say they are online. In fact, next to no one is – especially on MySpace. I wonder what the guy’s profile said, I guarantee there were a few fibs on there… Anyway, parents, use parental control/monitoring software like PC Pandora to make sure you know who your kids are talking to online.
MySpace meeting ends with robbery at gunpoint
A man who thought he was on his way to meet a girl at a west Vallejo home ended up getting robbed when he arrived at the residence early Thursday morning, Vallejo police said.
The victim had been chatting with the girl on the online social networking Web site, MySpace, and had agreed to come her alleged home on the 500 block of Daniels Avenue, police said.
The victim arrived at about 12:15 a.m. and instead of the girl meeting him at the door, he was greeted by two men who robbed him at gunpoint, police said.
The victim was not injured during the incident and no arrests have been made, police said.
