This is similar to a scam pulled by Joshua Maxwell and Tessie MacFarland several years ago in which one man in Indiana and a Deputy Sheriff in San Antonio were killed. Maxwell was executed several months ago.
Police say W. PA. couple robbed would-be 'John'
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A Johnstown couple were jailed on charges they robbed a man who paid the woman $130 for sex after meeting her through an Internet chat service. Police said the alleged victim was at a residence Tuesday with 36-year-old Elizabeth Cashaw when her husband, 33-year-old Erskine Cashaw, arrived and became upset upon learning that she had offered sex for sale.
Police said that's when Erskine Cashaw pulled a knife and had his wife drive all three of them to a convenience store where the Cashaws allegedly ordered the man to withdraw money from an automatic teller machine.
Police said that's when the man escaped and alerted police.
