The SAME exact Mattew ***** (with me he didn't have the "h" in his name which made me suspicious) happened to me.  I was trying to sell a Toyota Tundra on craigslist for $18,000 when he came along and offered me $18,100.  I was really happy at first.  He told me that he was going to send the money through paypal.  I agreed because Paypal is secure.  The next morning I woke up and he "sent" me $19,200 and I was supposed to send $1,100 to a pick up agent before the hold would be lifted from my paypal account and then I could just keep all of the $19,200.  He had me sending it though western union as well.  Please be aware of this guy.  He threatened me with going to the FBI as soon as I told him that I was going to report him to PayPal.  He got all defensive then got real nice and started asking nicely for the $1,000.  Please just beware this guy is a SCAMMER!!  His pick up agent's name was ROY ***** who lived in TX.  Mattew was claiming to be a sea cheif unable to do online banking but could do paypal instead.  He was supposedly working for National Institute of Oceanography in Washington state.  BEWARE!!!! ...
