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. |

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.
