How to report fraud and will any real action be taken?
We have a business selling digital goods. Recently someone made a number of purchases using stolen paypal accounts (using the same ip). We disabled the products they received and suprisingly the fraudster has now contacted us through his personal fb page asking why the products don't work. He has even told us details of 4 different USA based paypal accounts he used to make the purchases when he is located in Serbia. Further research has shown the individual to be involed in significant amount of cyber crime and he also has 110k followers on instagram with title 'paypal management'. Can this be reported to paypal and can/would they take action against the individual? Many thanks.

If you have not done so, Read our FAQ! which answers most questions.
Please note that with the current CoVid-19 crisis that support is very limited at PayPal. No one here can fix that or offer solutions. The most common answer is to telephone PayPal support. However at this time such a call may be frutile, though you can keep trying.
Try contacting PayPal support using social media such as Facebook or Twitter as this works more often than telephoning.
