No one has had to make Paypay look bad, they have a long history of doing it too themselves. Just spend a little time reading these forums about Paypal which have NOTHING to do with bitcoins buys most are ebay, I know people who have experienced these scams first hand so they are REAL and do happen everyday!!

The first link is the latest forums the second link is an older forum from 5-6 years ago so you can see this has been going on since Paypal was started.
