i doubt there is even a small chance of succeeding on this if PayPal already wants you to consult the police.

What exactly did they say if I may ask?

In order to continue with this investigation, a report must be filed with a law enforcement agency or government organization. You may choose to contact your local law enforcement agency (such as your local police or sheriff's department) or you may choose to file a report with any other governmental agency of your choice. Examples of such agencies could include:

• The Internet Crime Complaint Center (www.ic3.gov)
• Your state's Consumer Protection office
• Your State Police
• A Federal law enforcement agency such as the FBI or Postal Inspection Service
• Please note that a report to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is not acceptable for this document request.
