The title of the broadcast segment was "Dangerous and Sleazy" websites. Topix was an example of sleazy, not dangerous.
Named as very dangerous was "meeting people on
Craigslist." Meeting strangers online is hazardous at best, and apparently there is already an extensive history of people being murdered after meeting with people who they first contacted on Craigslist.
Interestingly, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (Tampa) has established a "safe zone" on the parking lots of each of their district offices where people who have agreed upon the sale and purchase of items may meet (under the observation of a deputy) to complete their transactions.
