I haven't found any information through which to report a scammer so I had to call Paypal. I got put through to someone who kept saying they would only limit an account when a requisite number of complaints about it came in -- however, she wouldn't tell me how many that is OR why they wouldn't limit the account when I can show them messages of the scam, and prove I can no longer contact the scammer bc he's blocked me from messaging him on Facebook. I would argue that is a bit of a red flag and worth some sort of investigation or limitation on their part of the account. I have reported the page to Facebook and Scamwatch -- I have to admit, it's remarkably impressive how companies like Paypal and Facebook create arbitrary rules that somehow or the other always mean they exert the least amount of energy and manpower in addressing scammers that work on their site. They really are of the opinion that they are happy to let people get scammed, and only those who are tech savvy enough to navigate their incomprehensible help pages should deserve for their cases to be addressed. Anyone else experience responses like this? It genuinely doesn't seem like they are taking me seriously if they are so quick to want to was their hands of me. I've asked for an escalation and a call back, but I anticipate being ignored.
