Auto Shippers International Phillip H Robertson-agentHenry Robertson-agent Craig's list posting used to attempt internet fraud Lacey Pennsylvania

 I listed a boat lift for sale on Craig's list .  Very quickly ( too quickly ) I recieved two similiar emails ; trmcmillan029@gmail.com and kidwellnyb395@gmail.com; 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.  j.klinsman1237@gmsil.com on behalf of service paypal, transfersdesk@care2.com . 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 .
