Short and quick , i did message Kyle1836 to buy some paypal funds from him, his reply was how much i need since now he have more funds  ;D

He asked me to sign a message that i own the bitcoins but honestly i am not sure if i can do that on PD !?

Anyway he did a misstake and replied me from Alex1212 and asked for escrow , but i NEVER send a message to this user ^^

Nice try :D

Kyle1836 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=442454) already has a feedback by Tomatocage pointing out he's a shill of Alex1212 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=523784): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=442454
This just confirms it, you shouldn't even try to deal with him to start with, even less so with PayPal!

You're lucky that you got away without a loss. Always use trusted escrow as third party, for the safety of both buyer and seller side.
And don't send funds directly from PD or any other site, it's much harder to prove ownership on them, since you can't sign a message from them.

I hope you wont need it, but if there is a next time, use proper format when making scam accusation : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0
