Someone tried to collect a $4000 item pretending the buyer had sent them

I helped my friend with a sale recently but the buyer arrange to collect the item the following day

Next morning a guy showed up saying he was picking it up for the buyer

He knew exactly what the item was, how much it sold for and even the buyer's first name. Honestly there wasn't much about the situation that immediately seemed wrong

The only problem was nobody had told us someone else was coming

We contacted the buyer through Kibu before releasing it and they replied basically immediately saying they had no idea who this person was

The guy left as soon as we told him we couldn't release it

Still have no clue how he got all those details

Anyone who does estate sales or sells expensive stuff locally, how do you handle third-party pickups? I'm starting to think knowing the receipt/order details shouldn't be enough anymore
