Inevitable scam attempt you say? This dude was just previously looking for a loan with a significant amount, wait for it,
without collateral. And now he's looking to buy BTC with PayPal.
Its exactly the reason why Paypal should never be used to pay for Bitcoin unless the person is extremely trustworthy, and I don't mean someone who's done a few deals here, and there, but someone who is pretty much a stand out figure within the community. I'd probably only trust a select few with handling paypal transaction for Bitcoin on this forum.
