A Gold Coast teenager has been left shaken after an online meet up to sell a phone went wrong.

A police spokeswoman said a 19-year-old man had planned to meet with someone who was going to buy a phone off the teenager.

“They were confronted by an unknown male who attempted to steal the phone,” she said.

The teenager then got into his Toyota Corolla to escape but lost control and crashed into a parked car.

The 19-year-old and his 17-year-old female passenger were not physically injured in the crash.
