I understand that you can get your money back from Paypal when ripped off. Ebay limit your claim to $400 less $25 for handling. I am a recent victim of a scammer that had zero feedback and so I was suspicious, and asked for more info. I got address, name, phone, bank a/c number and proceded with purchase, but if I had rung the phone number I would have learned it to be a sham. Moral of the story is - if you are suspicious, don't bother. All the other info I find is useless to both me and the police, as privacy law (in Australia) even prevents the bank from disclosure.
