You might replicate the fraudulent screenshots with the PayPal.com domain, see if that gets their attention.

That said, isn't the real story that domain escrow services exist for a reason?

No, story is that Paypal has been a haven for scammers and crooks since it started.

The lesson of the story is that they shouldn't be buying domains for any non-trivial amount of money without utilizing an escrow service.

The story is that every financial exchange has been a haven for spammers and crooks since they started.

That isn't fair to PayPal, it just processes transactions and in this case, the transaction was done _willingly_ by the account owners.

Agreed. Sellers and buyers of domain names (or web sites) selling for at least $300 should use an escrow service. The fee is around $25 and can usually be split between parties.

Just think about the price you're paying/selling the site for. If the amount is more than you're willing to lose, use an escrow service.

Surely not. They're trained to detect counterfeit screenshots and would sniff those out in a second.
