OAKLAND — A Pleasant Hill man whose numerous victims of attempted bank fraud ranged from world-famous rapper Fat Joe to a Fairfield man selling a car on Craigslist has been sentenced to six years and nine months in federal prison, court records show.

Gilbert Scott Martinez, 41, was sentenced last week by U.S. Judge Jeffrey White, who spit the consecutive sentences between Martinez’s current bank fraud case and a supervised release violation for a previous similar prosecution. Martinez pleaded guilty to bank fraud for passing a bad check to obtain a woman’s Mercedes Benz, which he later traded for a Range Rover at a Fairfield car dealership, prosecutors said.
