Re:I think he just got scammed . (Score 4, Informative)

Been there with PayPal.

Moved to another city and PayPal decided to freeze my wallet. First of all: there wasn't any kind of continuity in discussions I started to regain my account since one could only message via some feedback form on their site - not by mail. The answer was given in a mail that couldn't be replied so all I was left with was to fill another form and paste the past discussion to the form since everytime a different person was answering each of the feedback. Just frustrating.

Only way to regain the control of the accoung (and my money) was to scan a passport and a fresh bank statement and I refused to do so since this was just dealing with a "toy bank" PayPal. Instead; I decided to wait for my credit card to expire because then all the money gets transferred to my bank account. Avoided PayPal since then.
