scammed via paypal - can you trace a bt.com email address

phone paypal, they rectify scamming pretty quick

my account got done for $1998 a few weeks ago, took a day for there fraud department to sort it
 
How can you be sure the email is owned by the exact person that scammed you? The email address could have been hacked and used that way.

You could try contacting BT and informing them about the problem - I'm sure they'd be interested in one of their employees using a work email address to scam someone, or alternatively if one of their addresses has been hacked/spoofed.

Not sure which department you'd need to contact though :confused:
 
Phone paypal then phone BT.

Paypal will get you your money back and BT might find the guy :)

As has been said it might not be anyone from BT but a spoofed email or an account that has been hacked

Cant go pointing fingers with out actual evidence, and the OP has none atm
 
HERE IS THE EMAIL HEADER FROM THE EMAIL I RECEIVED.

Basically the person who has scammed me (possibly) has used the following address and as i got an out of office reply , also its their paypal address

thanks
