First I doubt that this "person" is real and is most likely anywhere in the word, they simply tell you they are in such and such a place.  Most times they are deployed overseas.  This is a common scam (Craigslist?).  Let me guess, they wanted to buy something you were selling, couldn't see it but offered an extra $40 or $50 dollars to "hold" it for them.  Then sent you a check, money order, paypal and you were supposed to wire money to the "shipper" to come pick it up?  The check, money order, paypal bounced or was not real and you are out the money and possibly bank fees?  How close am I?
