Man Caught Faking Cash App for Jewelry | Miami News

A 26-year-old con artist, Cornelius Douglas, pulled off a slick scam on Facebook Marketplace by faking a Cash App payment and tricking a seller into recording him wearing a $2,200 Cuban link chain—only to vanish without paying. This isn’t his first rodeo: he allegedly pawned an Audemars Piguet watch for $300 back in June. The victim identified him in a photo lineup, sealing his fate as he’s now facing grand theft charges and still dealing with a child abuse conviction. Authorities are urging buyers to meet in police-approved safe zones—because online deals can have real-world consequences.
