You are not that far. Go to his house. Call the police when you confirm that it's in fact his house.
Got scammed on PayPal, what can I do?

the owner of the video mentioned in the comments
"Guys heads up. Dateline NBC has contacted me and they are doing a story on online fraud victims. If it all works out, I'll be part of the story. I'll let paypal and Ebay know our stories."
it would be great to expose that and have one of those dateline guys just grill paypal/ebay asking how sellers are protected?

You'll be negative in paypal
They'll draw the funds from your debit, credit, or bank account.
They don't let you remove them for like a month or 2 after your last transaction.
Btw, NEVER send payment as gift. My bank did nothing for me & neither did paypal.

They will never charge your credit card or bank account on file.
It's not authorized. You can seriously sew them.

I'm guessing his school has a Facebook page. Put his *** on blast.

******G HAT. I would have went about it a tad different. But this sounds good. Make sure to keep it professional and offer to email or FAX documents if necessary.

Don't want to hijack the thread or anything but quick question.
I'm not gonna put his info out there yet either because I don't know what's goin on yet.
So pretty much I sold this guy some shoes for 325, as soon as I had the money I transferred it into my bank account this was on Monday. Yesterday he received the shoes and he texted me saying he got em and loved em. The money was already transferred into my bank so I was good. I had a payment come in for $75 yesterday also.
Yesterday night I get a email from Paypal saying I need to contact them in 7 days and this "You have received a payment that we believe may not have been authorized by the PayPal account holder. Here are the details of the transaction we are investigating"
In the dispute area it says that Paypal is investigating because they think the Paypal account holder had an unauthorized payment.
I had already withdrawed the money so the 325 was in my bank already but now my account is negative and they are holding that payment of 75 dollars that I had.
I messaged him and he said that he didn't file anything and that he was happy with the purchase. He said he was gonna give em a call.
So does Paypal open up cases on there own?? Or is he lying and he opened it up??
I'm gonna call them in a little just wanted to get some info.

If it sounds too good to be true it most definitely is. You know that's a scam off top when they say they are in a diif country and will pay more than you ask.
Hope that clown has to send the $ back or the shoes or both. Eff em

How is it fraud? its a real bank account it just cant be used for anything other than verifying
i cant put or take out money, its just so you can be verified without giving up your SSN or REAL bank account with YOUR own money in it.
theres nothing fraudulent about it since its technically MY bank account just with nothing in it.
