Hello everybody I am new and registered just to share my experience.
I am sorry to hear about all of this from you.
Long story short.... It happened to me as well.
I did pay in September the fee (279) EUR via paypal. The mail that I received gave me two account where to make the payments and told me to do so on one of the two.
Got cheated and ask for a refund to paypal.
This led me to many conversations with paypal through the phone.
I learned that they closed one of their accounts and the second one is limited, not because of the scam, but because the accounts were opened with id that were reported as lost.
Anyway I won the dispute on paypal as they never even bother to reply and I got the money back instantly.
Paypal is aware of the situation as I told them that I believe that more people are involved so simply ask back for the money and I am sure that you will have it soon.
