Hello everyone i recently posted a mini bike for sale a guy e-mailed me and said he was interested he offered me $200 more for the bike and said it was to keep other buyers away. I said this was all fine cause who is gonna turn down some extra cash right well he replyed saying he did not have the funds in my currency so he was going to get a friend to send me a check since his friend owed him money. I said this was fine to so e-mailed me a third time asking for my contact info to send a check. And he replyed that his friend would be sending a check for $3600 and i was to cash the check and take the amount i wanted for the mini bike then send the rest to him. Well soon as i saw this i knew it must be a scam so i typed in his name from his e-mails and searched it on yahoo well it turns out this guy has tryed this with many different people and is praying on people advertiseing on websights. Everyone be on the look out for anyone with the name Martin Bartons in his e-mails. Do not give out your contact info and do not try to cash any checks he sends you they are fake checks and your bank may give you the money upfront but will contact you in a few days saying check was bad and you owe them back the money and by that time you already sent the guy the rest of the money left from the check and the product you were selling him. I almost fell for this scam so watch out everyone!!!!! If he contacts you  try to ask his contact info because many people are trying to catch this guy. He might also go by a couple other names so just be careful about anyone offereing you more money then you are asking for.
