People ought to have better sense than to go meeting people they don't know.

A Jacksonville man says he was duped and robbed by two girls after attempting to meet with a woman he met on the internet.

The victim says he chatted online with a woman, known on her MySpace.com profile as “Natalia”, for two weeks before deciding to meet with her. He says her prfile showed sexy photos, and a blurb which said “just lookin’ for something fun”. That brief, friendly description was all he knew about her before they planned to meet.

"She sent me a message saying she thought she met me somewhere," says the victim.

They decided to meet at what she called her home at the Bentley Green Apartments.

“I went to [the apartment] and knocked on the door, and there was no answer. So I called her and said, ‘I'm here’ and there was no answer."

That is when two girls who were 14 and 15-years-old, approached him saying they knew Natalia, the girl he thought he'd be meeting. They also said they knew where he worked at what car he drove.

"This was not the girl that the picture was of on MySpace," the victim said.

Now sensing something was wrong, he was ready to take off, but was stopped by a shocking discovery.

"[One of the girls] took [a] gun out and put it to my head and told me to empty my pockets."

The girls didn't get much because the victim had forgotten his wallet. They let him go, unharmed, and he called police.

Police did a search of the area and found the two teens with another male suspect. They searched a purse and found two loaded handguns.

Myspace.com may have been developed for friends and music, but this victim had to find out the hard way that not everyone is logging on for the right reasons.

The so-called Natalia did tell the victim that she was 18, so he was shocked to learn he was actually talking to a 14-year-old. He says he has since removed personal information from his MySpace profile, like his salary and the kind of car that he drives.

Those teenagers are now charged with armed robbery and carrying a concealed firearm.

Weird. Usually, when we hear about this stuff, an adult is always the perpetrator. Guess it can work both ways too. That's really unfortunate.

I have a cyberpal on Flickr who knows a woman he photographs all the time. She sounded like someone I'd like to contact. I Googled her and found her on MySpace. I joined MySpace specifically to contact her and I told her who I was, how I know her friend on Flickr, and how she seemed interesting. . . and how I'd like to correspond with her. She never replied. Guess I'm better off.

I just cancelled my MySpace account after all of six days. It wasn't worth the effort to meet the friend of a friend I'd mentioned earlier.

I'm curious to know how old that "victim" was. It sounds a little fishy that a grown man would be looking for a meet with someone. Maybe he had bad intentions as well.
