Two Arrested for Selling fake PS4 Console

Port-of-Spain: Trinidad and Tobago police on Wednesday arrested two men for obtaining money by false pretence after they sold a DVD player to a buyer instead of a PlayStation 4 game console. Police officials stated that two men from El Socorro, San Juan, aged 18 and 20, posted a PlayStation 4 game console for sale on Facebook, then made arrangements to meet with an interested buyer. The two men met with the interested buyer around 4 pm, at the Western car park of Trincity Mall, where they completed the transaction for $2000. The buyer proceeded to check the contents of the PS4 box and discovered that the box contained a black Samsung DVD player wrapped up with pieces of cream tiles. The buyer made checks for the suspects; he spotted them within the vicinity of Scotia Bank, Trincity Mall and notified officers of the NDTF – Central. The officers arrived at the scene; they questioned the two men, who were then arrested and taken to the Arouca Police Station. The accused had been arrested and charged under various fraud sections. The suspects would be presented in front of the magistrate in a virtual manner.
