Long story cut short.

Step dad finds an email in his inbox that is basically an invoice receipt from paypal saying that a transaction has been successful of £300 paid to the recipient for an iPhone bought off ebay.

He didn't buy this phone on ebay so he knows for a fact his account was hacked and now he's £300 out of pocket.

He's reported it with paypal who've still yet to get back to him.

Thing I want to know is can we get police involved? As the invoice receipt has the delivery address of this guy who's bought this phone with my step dad's account. And if we can, what do we need to do?
