Has anyone had a run-in with Matt Gissy ([email protected])?
His email was used to list a very new, very fast MacBook Pro a month ago for a considerably inexpensive price (particularly because it includes very expensive software). Surprised that it'd still be up on the site, I emailed. These followed:
Me:
Hi Matt,
I saw your ad posted on Craigslist for your MacBook Pro 17". I also saw that it was posted almost a month ago. Is it still available?
Thanks

The macbook is available for sale. I bought the macbook 3 months ago and it has 21 months of warranty.The price is $800.It comes with all original accessories.
Where are you located ?
Me:
(I told him the city I live in)
$800 is just the slightest bit high for us at this time; would you accept $750?
Also, is there a good time soon that we could meet? We'd really like to try it out and see if it meets our needs, ask questions about programs and such.
Reply:
$750 is ok.
I am sorry but I am in New York now.
If you want , we can make the deal thru a shipping company ( I will send the macbook first and I will provide you the tracking number so you can track it online ) The shipping will take 2 days ( the price include shipping fees )
the warranty is transferable.
thank you !
Me:
Which company are you thinking of using? Also, would we need to pay beforehand or after we receive the computer? And through what means (PayPal, credit card through UPS, check, etc)?
If it is easier to talk over the phone, we can do that.

These are the steps :
1. I`ll send the macbook to you , then I`ll provide you the tracking number so you can track the package online.
2. Global Postal ( the shipping company ) will contact you with an invoice with all the details regarding shipping and payment.
3. You must pay to the available agent assigned for this transaction ( to a Global Postal employee ) He will hold your payment until you receive your macbook
4. You receive the macbook
5. You have 30 days to inspect the macbook and if you don`t like it , you can return it ( with no extra costs )
6. If you decide to keep it ( after 30 days ) the Global Postal agent will transfer the money to me ( only with your consent )
If you accept , give me your full address and name so I can start the shipping.
Thank you !
Me:
Do you know of a website or contact information for Global Postal? The only place I could find was a company in Chicago and they only ship locally.

thank you !
The website is pretty low-quality, there's no phone number or physical address. It's a Free Domain (.tk stands for Tokelau, a territory island of New Zealand) and contact information cannot be given out about it from DNSstuff (I tried). Furthermore, when I hover my cursor over links, I can see that its TRUE domain is globalpostalll.x10.mx -- a free hosting domain in Mexico, it seems.
The latest development is that this guy has also posted similar items Tampa (definitely not my hometown in Kentucky or where he says he lives New York):
Apple 17" Macbook Pro 3.06ghz 8gb 750gb HD Unibody New! - $800
Apple Macbook Pro 3.06ghz 8gb 500gb 17 inch Unibody New - $800
All in all, it sounds too good to be true. Does anyone have any info on Global Postal or Matt Gissy?
Thanks everyone!
