Same thing happened to me by this guy 2 years ago for some golf clubs I had posted on Letgo or Kijiji. I fell for it reluctantly and ended up paying twice for my golf clubs which are in my basement. The other day I posted a Prom Dress and within 2 hrs. John Bumfrey demanded that I take down the ad and mark it Sold "NOW !" Sent me $140 more than it was posted for because I told him it was marked wrong by $100 he added $40 shipping. I remembered this routine Quickly and asked him for his phone number so I could talk to him. He played it down. Wanted this Dress as he said he Needed it Badly and Immediately. I told him that I Am Not an [censored]! He said he didn't understand me. He is trying this in many different ways and it is always Demanding and threatening. I am not sure exactly what he gets out of this. It is a sickening way of power and control. Why this Fraud hasn't been Caught is Discracefull. He is Persistent and Threatening so if you think it's shady [censored] don't do it and report this immediately.

The so-called John guy,

Was very much keen on buying my laptop and having it shipped directly from Canada to the States. Being in a different province than me, he had come across the post and offered me higher voluntarily. After a couple of days when I told him that I can ship and gave him different shipping options, he immediately "transferred" me the price+shipping+$30 extra!

The etransfer email was funny looking, much smaller than smaller one unclickable, set from an aol email address, and was saying that is in PENDING for shipping label or something to that end and had the FedEx logo in it, and the logo was not legit either!

When I told him to provide the question and answer for transfer, he said something around when you get the shipping tracking info upload it there if you know what I mean! (which I'm not sure what he meant!).

He insisted a few times to mark the laptop as SOLD too, before even proceeding with the payment!

So beware! There are a lot of scammers out there!
