Default Ripped off by Scam and PayPal

My story starts with my resume being posted on careerbuilders.com. I recieved an email from their site about a job with a company looking for US Reps. Since the offer came from careerbuilders.come I thought the offer was a good one. I was directed to the company web site where I read about the job, applied for the position and was accepted.
A contract was sent to me, I sent it back and with in a couple days I was contacted by a company manager and told to set up my paypal account to recieve money from their clients. I did and I recieved a email from a person telling me their client had sent fund to my pay pal account. I then was directed to forward the money to the name and address the provided. I did so. The next week the same process of recieving money and transfering it to the company took place. A third time this took place except this time pay pal stopped the transfer and informed me that the person claimed the transactions were used on a stolen card. Since that time they have put my account in debt for $5800.00 and are threaten legal action.
I was a victim here who did not recieve a dime from the alleged company and now pay pal after many weeks of phone calls and emails still want to hold me responsible. Can anyone offer any help?

Default Scammed and now owe paypal

I read your posting regarding paypal holding you accountable for money you don't have. I too was the victim of a similar issue. I have now been turned over to a collection agency. Have you resolved your issue? If so, I'd appreciate how you handled your case.
