Same situation here, just that the guy asked me lots of things about my product, then called me, talked on the phone, and when I received the scam email I told him "nice scam" and he continued to call me on Whats app or Face Time until I blocked him. All this took 2 days, crazy how much time he involved in this, he would probably be better selling legal stuff like life insurances for real companies because he is truly able to do so, he has the necessary skills.

I didn't have to block him, I think he blocked me! I bored him to death with a tone texting about boring stuff, without telling him I know what's going on.

Same scam to me. The person was named Kristina Butkovic, a woman from Croatia but who worked in Ohio, also had America number phone.

The same Kristina <removed> contacted a friend of mine wanting to buy a product from him. This person sent a picture with a transfer of over 2000 EUR but was in a hurry to send my friend to pay some 400 EUR, transport fees, to a bitcoin ATM. As others said the email you receive is from upaypal.org and the phone number is US.

Hope it helps somebody!
