K1FG Scammer

K1FB responded to my WTB ad with the item I wanted, asking $100.
I looked up his callsign, checked the map and all seemed fine.
He insisted I use PayPal family and friends. I should have known better at this point.
I sent the $100 to his email address. FrankK1FGradio@gmail.com.... Seemed ligit.
He replied that I should have sent it to jacobvictory@gmail.com
I got a refund from Paypal and resent funds to jacobvictory.
Paypal charged me $4.99. This turned out to be a fee for overseas payment. At this point I realized I was being scammed.
Now he won't respond to email..
Paypal will not refund funds for friends and family in this case.
I'm screwed.
