Yes but how? 99% of these will be coming from foreign countries and with untracable senders. eBay (PayPal's parent company) could very well report every one of these to the FBI but what will the FBI do in a timely mannor? eBay can pursue the host of the bogus webpage but again they are often in foreign countries and hard to trace down or hard to contact ISPs providing service to these boxes.

PM me the bogus page addy (the actual addy not paypal.com) I have written a small program to fill in submit about 10,000 bogus email addresses/names etc. If they want to send me crap I'll send crap back 🙂
