Meets with businessman after responding to ad
Costumer Runs Off With Laptop
You are not even safe to buy a car or sell any other product through an ad anymore. Sometime ago a young man from Tobago was brutally murdered when he went to see a car he saw on the newspaper, he was ready to buy it but the killers had another plan for him.

Earlier this year, Elroy Quashie of Plymouth, Tobago, was killed after coming to Trinidad to buy a car listed in a classified section of a newspaper.
