The two agreed to a price of $140 for the Jordan 6 pair and to meet at the 16-year-old's neighborhood.
However, when the teenager was waiting to exchange goods last Tuesday night, a white Dodge Charger with what appeared to be three adults inside arrived instead.
"So I knew that she wasn't in the car, and it was dudes,” the victim said.
"She set it up, and they robbed her and did some things that could have cost her her life," the victim's mother Betty Murray said.
The victim and her mother said two of the men snatched the teen's cash. The victim said she and her dog were run over as the trio pulled off.
"It's just tragic, and I just thank God that she's here," Murray said.
The victim's mother says the whole incident has sparked one serious conversation about trust, online transactions and social media.
“If you want to trade or sell or buy shoes, do it in the police station,” Murray said. “Nobody's going to rob you in the police station."
Meanwhile the victim's mother says she has taken key evidence of the transaction to Gwinnett County police in hopes that they can get the 17-year-old girl to reveal who was in that car.
