They wanted to buy something I was selling on CL. Claimed to have made a deposit to my paypal account but when I logged on to verify, there were no deposits made. The FAKE emails I received stated that they sent additional money and asked me to send the additional amount they sent to a shipping agent. When I refused, they threatened to call the local police, FBI and CIA on me. I told them to call whoever they needed to call.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Posted item for sale on CL. Person asked for my email so she could send money via PayPal. Then told me to check my spam folder because she sent the money. She sent the money plus $420 that I was supposed to wire to her “mover”. It wasn’t showing up in my PayPal. The email advised me to wire $420 via Western Union to: Joshua Brown Address: 7225 Daniel Dr d City: Stockbridge State: GA Zip code: 30281 Country: USA.
Then when I said it looked like phishing, they sent me a “how could you?!” Text and claimed that they were US Military and how could I call them a scammer. Also, they used poor spelling/grammar.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
