I got this email below supposedly from PayPal. Does PayPal do any tracking of these Fraudsters?

You report them so that paypal can warn folks on the type of scams that come from those phishing emails.

They don't chase up who sent them as they are normally from anonymous or hijacked email addresses from someone working out of an internet cafe somewhere in another continent.
