    Don’t worry PayPal will realize it is a scam and hold the money. They will keep it themselves as they have done with thousands of other scams. PayPal does not care about the people who lose. It keeps them in funds. They will freeze the account and not listen to any pleas. PayPal are the real scammers!

    Duh, just give PayPal a chargeback with your credit card company.
    As in many instances of Federal Law, a company can not compel individuals to sign away their consumer rights, in this case the with a contract (i.e. paypal TOS). I’m sure that the F.T.C. would take this position in this type of case also. http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcra.htm . Contracts that have people sign away their rights under the law are usually void, as I’ve seen mentioned many times on Government web sites. For example a landlord could try to get renters to sign a waiver of the Civil Rights act to avoid lawsuits, but the contract would likely be null and void. The obvious exception to these is Military where you sign away your rights as a citizen and agree to abide by the UCMJ instead. All this minutiae aside, I think the biggest deterrent for these companies (whether Governments have asserted their powers or not yet), is that 1. They don’t want to have Uncle Samantha determine they are in fact Banks and therefore operating illegally, probably by holding large amounts of money. 2. They don’t want to have the Feds go after them (and their officers) under R.I.C.O. (RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS Act) by diverting funds via their TOS, etc. 3. They certainly don’t want some hot-shot Trial Law Firm to target them for a huge class action lawsuit, which they will have to settle or go bankrupt. I’ll certainly be watching with interest on this one. Remember the S&L Scandal in the 80’s?
