Scammers
 
Playing with a scammer and got their paypal account.
Anything I can do with it?
Paypal can track them with their bank account info, but will they?

I'm guessing it's better that you don't, or if you do, make sure that whatever you do isn't illegal.

Just asking for trouble if you do.....don't do it.

Tell them you are a Nigerian prince. If they send you $499 you can access the us customs warehouse and get your millions. You will gladly pay them $2MM foe this.

Not planning on doing anything illegal, but kinda wondering if worth reporting them to somebody?

What damages have you suffered? None? Forget the whole thing.

That depends. How sure are you that they're scammers? If you're sure, write an email to PayPal with the reasons you think they're scammers along with the associated email address.

1968 Fuchs in perfect condition for 800 shipped from Hawaii.
New poster with 0 posts.
Broken English and very aggressive.
Im not out anything but these bottom feeders keep doing this because they get away with it.
I wouldn't mind spending some time trying to get one busted.

So do it... I would. If PayPal ignores your email then that's on them.
