Dating sites are full of fake profiles. When you get a match they immediately want to move the conversation to another platform like Instagram or whatsapp. Once there they pretend to offer sexual services or some kind of massage. They want to be paid through PayPal. They instruct you to use the family and friends option. Is there a way to report their PayPal accounts?

Go to the acceptable use policy via legal bottom right of paypal pages and there is a link on the 'report' word to report violations of that policy.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
