Paypal seems to have changed recently and is favouring online scammers now. I accidentally made a payment to a scammer and notified PayPal while the funds were still held with PayPal (not released to scammer) but they still didn't heed and rejected my request to reverse the transaction and paid to scamster. Wouldn't be surprised if the scammer might have been someone from inside Paypal and that's why PayPal favoured him. Utterly disappointed with PayPal
