Hello, I need help. My wife almost got involved into a money laundering scam. She was hired as a "prepaid manager" but we noticed fishy transaction since the person who hired her doesn't give any information to my wife. She keeps on sending my wife different amount of money in different company such as remitly, xoom and paypal. She's using my wife's name as a sender and a receiver and giving my wife an alibi why is the sender and the receiver's name are the same. So my wife decided to quit since we already know that this is a scam. After a week, i received a payment here in paypal with the amount of $5,500 in usd. Upon checking, it was a sold item from e-bay (i dont have an ebay account) the guy created an item for sale in ebay and used my paypal account (when my wife started, she gave my paypal account for her salary). Ebay suddenly sent me an email regarding the fraud activity. So when i knew that the money that i received will mess with my account, i decided to change the status into "shipped" (but i didn't get the fund) so that the scammer wont get the money back. Then i sent an email to paypal regarding the issue but paypal favored the buyer (scammer) because he stated that he didn't receive the item from ebay i also told paypal that the buyer and the seller are the same person. Now paypal processed the refund and deducted me $244.50 for the fee. Is there anything that i can do to fix this? I'm using my paypal account to receive my salary since i'm working as a Virtual assistant and once my salary is paid it will just go into the deducted amount.
