A man has been ambushed in his home by ‘sellers’ purporting to sell him a phone over Facebook.
After responding to the Facebook ‘for sale’ advertisement, he let the two males inside his home at Gordon Street, Noble Park on Thursday 25 April, 6.20pm.
With no sign of the promised Apple iPhone, one of the males tried to snatch the cash as the victim started counting it out.
The victim was then kicked in the face, suffering minor injuries.
The two would-be robbers left the house empty-handed.
They were described as teenagers, dark-skinned in appearance, police say.
Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.
