Need to get my rimblow or my cash back

Problem is that I sent $$ as a gift.

Yeah, that's about the same as a Western Union cash transfer. I would STILL probably call Paypal and tell them how he duped you into it and file a complaint and ask if they've had any other problems with him. The right sob story could get you some help or at least give him some heat. We're all human and the Paypal people are pretty helpful.
