A man who lured an Auburn University graduate student into a robbery and assault via Facebook was later identified by his profile on the social network, according to a media report.

Justin “Trapboi” Hollis, 27, was found guilty this week of armed robbery, aggravated assault and using a firearm to commit a felony in December 2014, the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reported.

The victim, Dae Kyung Seong, 31, said he met Hollis by shopping for a PlayStation 4 via a Facebook yard-sale app, according to the report. Seong, who was at Auburn on a student visa, testified via Skype from a hotel in Europe, the paper reported.
