never ever click a link in an email from PayPal that asks for anything same with banks if anything that has personal details involved they never ever ask you for it.

This type of fraud has been going on for years i am shocked yet not surprised people still fall for it. Looking at link location is easy way to see it is not from who it's meant to be, reporting it also helps close these scammers down quicker.

I Feel sorry for this guy he's paid a high price to learn this lesson. And unless he's paid via credit card is unlikely to get any money back
If your not willing to learn, No one can help you, If you are determined to learn, No one can stop you ;)

Funnily enough, my brother in law recently had his account cleared out after he used his card in a petrol station
The swines used his money to buy a camper van in Australia!
