I'd say reporting this to the Mods is a priority.

PayPal as friends/family or normal payment? If you sent money as friends/family, there is no recourse. As a normal payment, you can file a dispute if seller does not ship or if item is not as described. Good luck.

They're on it. Simply click the exclamation under a member's avatar - for good reasons of course. Potential fraud accusations are good ones. Ensure the other party is a member here as well. (The mods aren't the web's watch transaction police.)

Get your details ready as they might ask you to share more info to support your original post on this thread.

He's been banned for this. On further investigation I believe that he is operating from outside the country.

Whether the true owner of the account gave his password carelessly to the scammers who love this sort of thing, I don't know.

Contact Paypal urgently.
