So I had to do some digging but found out that this Matthew Derossi is now using a NY phone number 646-450-3213 I was just asked to use Pay Pal and he will have his " pickup agent" as soon as the transaction is complete. He was trying to buy my car from 2500 miles away!!! Please be aware that this guy is trying everything!!!
I have received numerous text messages from Matt at (781) 412-4096. He is requesting either my Paypal account name or an invoice for 5+ items that I have listed on Craigslist.
He says he is willing to pay full price for each item. He has asked that I calculate the total amount and get back to him with my full name and PayPal email address. In return, he will pay with his PayPal account (which is attached to his bank account & is a safe and secure way to make payment online). Once the funds are confirmed on my end, he will send someone to pick up the items on his behalf.
Due to the strict nature and safeguards that PayPal has in place, how is the individual able to transfer the funds? Has anyone else requested that the individual pay with cash or cashiers check? Hopefully you can provide some additional info to save me (and others) any headache in the future. Thank you all for your input/advice!
The POS is now using 929-232-7089 as Matt Derrosi. This phony POS is from another country as he writes like someone from Africa. Used a craiglist add I put out for a car. He was willing to pay full price without even looking at it. Said he would pay through his PayPal account. That's as far as it went. Told him if he wanted to buy to meet me face to face and pay cash. Havnt heard from him since.
