NEW YORK -- Police say four men have been arrested in connection with a bait and switch scam in which prospective iPhone buyers were robbed at gunpoint of cash and valuables.

The scam used the popular online marketplace, Craigslist, to lure iPhone buyers to locations in Brooklyn, police said.

Detectives said a dozen people responded to the ad for the iPhone.

The prospective buyers who arranged to meet the suspects on a Flatbush street corner to pick up their iPhone wound up staring down the barrel of a loaded gun, police said.

The four men were arrested on Wednesday in Flatlands after officers set up a sting operation by responding to an advertisement on Craigslist, the police said.

In all, police say the victims were robbed of thousands of dollars.
