The Xbox Series X and PS5 are in high demand right now, and given the low supply combined with their high costs, it's no surprise that we're getting reports of robberies from people selling the two consoles (and possibly others) online.
Specifically, the Toronto Police Operations Twitter account put out a warning to potential sellers yesterday, informing the public that some of these reports of robberies have also contained weapons/violence.
If you're planning to buy / sell a console, Toronto Police suggests meeting in a public place, bringing only agreed upon cash, doing the transaction during daylight hours, not giving out personal information, and bringing someone with you.
Of course, all of these rules apply no matter where you might reside in the world, and for whatever reason you might be choosing to buy / sell your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S or PS5 this way. Stay safe out there, folks.

Haha, Take that you bunch of weasel scalpers..
As some cleverer than me responded on Twitter
"The scientific term for what’s going on here, is karma."
Brilliant
I'd like to say I feel sorry for them but .......
This could be a new video game
Do over the scalper. 4K 120FPS and a baseball bat with HDR.
You get what you ***** deserve!
🤣🤣
Good, maybe this will make those scalpers think twice.
Scalpers getting jacked is hilarious to me. Made my day. 🤣
Yep I’m in agreement with the other comments, those scalpers won’t get any sympathy from me. They shouldn’t be buying the consoles in the first place if they have no intention of keeping it.
Can't say I care for either party here. At some level both are also a product of the recession we live in as well.
Guys, I think this is being misinterpreted.
I think this is people posing as if they have a console to sell, luring people with money, and then robbing the poor desperate buyer that wants a console.
In a dark alley 2 men approach each other midway between their armed backups. One with money in hand, the other with a series X in hand. "Let me see the money says one, open the box and let me see the goods" says the other. Tension runs high as one false move could be tragic.
