  • Beware: Phillipe Mathaus


    DaveAlvarez
    • Who: Phillipe Mathaus
      Where: https://twitter.com/picutirt
      When: 02/01/2019
      What: Commission


    I was victim from an internet fraud scheme. Philipe Mathäus, resident of Brazil asked me to work 3 commissioned artworks for him. 
    I charged $250.00 for each illustration making it $750.00 in total.
    One on December 17, 2018

    The second on January 2, 2019And the third on January 8,2019

    The transaction was made through Paypal, AUTHORIZED and paid on FULL by mister Cardozo on the dates before mentioned. The artwork was delivered digitally a few days later. So this was a full and complete sale.

    On February 1 2019, Mister Cardozo files a false claim to his bank or card issuer, claiming that these transactions were done without his knowledge. By default, his bank withdraws the money from my bank account!

    After some research I found that is customary from Mister Cradozo to file malicious complaints to his bank to other artists as well.

    The problem is that Paypal doesn't have coverage for paid services since there's not a tangible object involved, so hey can't solve the matter.

    I don't feel secure since this person already found a way to cyber-steal money from my bank.
    His malicious procedure provoked the blocking of my Paypal account, the cancelation of my credit card for

    fraudulkent robbery and an outstanding overdrive of $535.00, leaving me and my family without access to our funds for a week. Damages sum $1,285.00.

    This person is commiting credit card frauds all over the world and needs to be stopped.I can provide evidence of transactions and other people's testimonials.

    Googling his Twitter handle, it seems you're far from alone in this. Perhaps if you can prove to PayPal that they indeed received the artworks, PayPal will let the claims end in your favor?
