Police say seven people have been arrested on Long Island in connection with a robbery scam that used Craigslist advertisements for a Porsche as bait.

In two cases, people who showed up looking for a bargain were beaten and robbed.

Nassau County police say a 17-year-old Queens girl placed both ads. Her alleged accomplices range in age from 16 to 19.

The robberies took place in Baldwin on Dec. 6 and in Freeport on Nov. 26.

In the Freeport robbery, a couple drove from Pennsylvania to buy a 2006 Porsche. When they got out of their car, three or four men attacked them, stealing a cell phone and several thousand dollars.
