' And you'd have to call the FBI, not the cops, because in most cases, it's outside the local jurisdiction. However, if you read the PayPalSucks.com site, they do say that hiring a lawyer is the best way to get your money back. Unfortunately, in most cases that costs more than PayPal took from you to begin with.' strange.. here in the UK, if a company does that to a person, then under the Computers and Misuse Act and the credit and consumers act, they get taken to court. no matter if they are in the UK or not (ever hear of extradition treaties). seems that the legal system is failing you all. call the FBI instead of whining. use the LAW. it's what it's there for!
