Hi guys, I'm just wondering if anybody knows how to report fraudulent accounts and if this is at all possible. I have been looking to purchase a puppy for my son and was asked my somebody to send the money through PayPal and he would ship the dog to me. I'm not silly and know this is dodgy. It was advertised as being sold in my local area but when I enquired I was then told he was over 400 miles away and wanted paypal payment. I got the email address from them and wondered if there was a way paypal can investigate and shut it down so nobody falls foul to this horrible scam?
