Very similar to the following report but they tried it on me for speakers. Luckily I never sent the money thanks to this site.
Martins James responded to my Craigslist ad to sell my ATV. He stated he was at sea on board an Aircraft carrier and was going to ship the ATV out of state to his "dad". I received an email supposedly from Paypal saying he had sent me money in an escrow account, and he overpaid so I could send money to Bruce Turner, the supposed shipper. As a former sailor, I wanted to help a navy man so I agreed to send the $1400. He came back the next day and told me that Turner had been robbed and asked me to send another $400. I did some checking (finally) and found out that the Paypal message that there was money in an escrow account was a fake email. It's likely that "Martins James" does not even exist, and the whole scam is being run by Bruce Turner, (Personal Info Removed)
