A thief nicknamed the 'Black Widow of Facebook' who drugged and robbed men after she lured them into bed has been arrested.
Argentinian con-artist Sofia Davila posted raunchy pictures or herself online and then flirted with unsuspecting men she had contacted on the social network, suggesting they meet up for sex.
But after meeting her victims, the 21-year-old from Buenos Aires, would spike their drinks and wait for them to fall unconscious, before ransacking their homes.
Diego Escalante, from Tigre, Buenos Aires, said he had been robbed after falling victim to the ploy.
The 39-year-old said: 'We had been flirting with each other for about two weeks and then she suggested we get together.
'We went to a hotel and had a good time and when she suggested we meet again I didn't think anything was suspicious.
'The next time we met she came to my place and said she'd like to drink her own alcohol and poured me one too. I then began to fill ill and passed out.
'When I woke up my feet and hands were tied and there were two men in my flat taking my TV, stereo and other things.'
After carrying out the ruse Davila went to the police station herself to report the robbery - claiming she had been forced to leave the flat by the men, and had been powerless to stop them.
But a spokesman for the police said they were suspicious, having received numerous calls from men who had been stolen from after they spent the night with a woman they met over the internet
He said: 'The problem with her statement was that we had already received a dozen complaints from other men saying they had been robbed after meeting a woman over Facebook.
'This was the first time the woman had actually shown up herself though, but because she matched the description we already had we decided to hold her for questioning.
'As soon as we spoke to the victim we knew she was the woman behind the robberies and it only took a little while before we had a full confession. We also found that the man had been drugged.'
Davila admitted to bedding and robbing more than 15 men and is now awaiting trial along with her two accomplices.
Argentinian news website DiarioVeloz.com said Davila, who worked in PR for a bowling alley, told police she was forced to commit the crimes to pay off her debts to a drug dealer.
