they said I am happy that your ITEM is still for sale.  They did not even know what I had for sale.  they said that they were currently out of town with fellow corps for boot camp and wanted me to ship it to his son.  Also that they would gladly pay $200 for the shipping. Its hard to belive how low people are and how easly they will try and steal from good hard working people.

I just got a text from the same number, I'm selling an Ipad mini on craigslist...

I got a text from this guy also. he claimed to be with the United States Marine Corps but was hospitalized in New York. I'm selling a laptop on Craigslist and he wanted to pay me an additional $200.00 over what i was selling the laptop for so that I could ship the product to his "son in West Africa". I goggled his phone number and saw Mark's message, then told him I thought he was in the business off scamming people. Needless to say he did not reply.

Yes I just got the same message this morning, saying they're in the Marines but on medical treatment in NY and wanted my item I put on Craigslist that was a brand new iPad shipped out to his son and would add $100 for shipping. I said no only local buyers that I hand to personally. They still insisted saying they'll send me money first and pay upfront. I said no only if their relative was local and could pick it up, there was no way in hell I'd ship out an iPad ... they never replied.

I'm selling an iPhone on Craigslist and got a hit from this number. He stated the same bull about being hospitalized in New York.. I told him I would help him out but he needed to call me first. I then gave him the Nebraska FBI phone number.
