I listed a boat lift for sale on Craig's list . Very quickly ( too quickly ) I recieved two similiar emails ; [email protected] and [email protected]; stating give me best price buying it for a relative as a gift and want to do the deal quickly. One was for father, the other for a brother, both stated they were marine biologists working at sea. I was instructed to open a paypal account . Then I was advised the shipping needs paid in advance and he could not take care of it because he was at sea . He was to transfer the purchase price AND the shipping to paypal and it was not to be relesed ( guarenteed funds ) until I had paid the shipping via Western Union. Shipping to be paid to a Phillip H Robertson 311 Lacey Pa 18623, supposedly an agent of Auto Shippers International.
I was then notified by email from a Julia Klinsman that the transfer failed and I needed to resend it to a Henty Robertson. [email protected] on behalf of service paypal, [email protected] . The transfer failed again and I was then advised to send it again using a money gram.
I then determined that Western Union was holding up the transfers because they were caught in their security filters . I sent an email to Tracy McMillan indicating it was a nice try but he was busted and I would be reporting to Western Union , paypal , Craig's list and FTC internet fraud . I have heard no more from him .
These names may be real or fictious and Auto Shippers International may be ligitimate , however if it is they should be interested in how their name is being used .
