Hello!
I recently made a PayPal purchase on a website that, as I found out today, is a fraudulent copy of the real American company. I started going through the dispute filing process and it recommended emailing the seller, whose paypal-provided email looks suspicious in itself- [removed] Do you think I should still personally attempt to email this seller; an action I am hesitant to do since I don't want them to have any more info or know any more about me than they do?
Thank you!

Open a dispute after 7 days for item not received in the Resolution Center.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
