An Ottawa-area woman with multiple sclerosis was robbed of the iPhone she was trying to sell for some extra Christmas money after meeting a would-be buyer who responded to her online ad.
“The idea was to sell my old phone to help get me through January,” 46-year-old Tammy Cullhain told CTV Ottawa.
Cullhain, who uses a motorized wheelchair, said she listed her iPhone X on Kijiji for $800. She accepted an offer to meet a prospective buyer, who only identified themselves using their initials, outside a YMCA in downtown Ottawa on Monday night. Cullhain handed the suspects the iPhone but alleges the suspects ran off with it when she turned to adjust her wheelchair.“I spent the last year struggling with depression and anxiety and I finally wanted to celebrate.”
