To cygnetswan:

You can report Credit Card Fraud to the FTC if the amount is $2,000 and up. You might want to see if your state's Attorney General's Office is interested, too.

The Federal Trade Commission's website at Federal Trade Commission - Home is the agency interested in pyramid schemes, money-making chain letters, credit card scams, credit repair scams, weight-loss plans, fraudulent business opportunities, etc. They have a Consumer Complaint link on their home-page. Or, forward spam to spam@uce.gov. They say their database generates cases against people who use spam to spread false or misleading information about their products or services.

After you have finished reporting the incident, you might want to visit Ripoff Report: By Consumers, For Consumers to file a complaint so others can be put on notice about Paypal Pro and how they didn't handle the scam incident well.

Update 10/2/07:

Found the following information in Reporting Credit Card Fraud, a Thread posted in the Credit Card Fraud section: If you are a merchant and you suspect orders have been placed for your products/services using stolen credit card information you will need to contact VISA/MC/AMEX/DISCOVER to obtain the issuing bank's phone number then call the bank to report that you suspect that their customer's credit card information has been stolen.
