Is there ever "too soon" to call out a scam ***POSSIBLE SCAM INCLUDED

Is it ever "too soon" to call out someone who you believe may have possibly scammed you?

I'm a 3rd party to a situation that is currently going on at a FaceBook Group that I am part of. In this group, they allow members to trade ACR/BCP/TP (WPN Network) funds for PayPal funds. In this situation. A person of the group, Nabel (that's his name) contacted another member Pete Hesse, to trade Nabel's $300 PayPal, for $320 of Pete's ACR. Pete, having done "many" transactions before, including with Nabel insisted he get the PayPal funds first. Nabel sent....The follow conversation occurred.

TL;DR:
- Victim Send $300 Paypal
- Scammer claims his ACR & Paypal got blocked at the same time, because he is in Mexico and didn't tell them he is in mexico
- Scammer keeps telling victim "you'll get your funds tomorrow"
- After 3 days, Victim posts he believes he's been scammed
- Scammer comes on post and defends himself but doesn't want to submit proof
- 8 days has now gone by and victim has still not been paid.

Since it involves PayPal, he can call up and claim fraud, and sometimes get the money back, even if it wasn't a payment done with "protection".

He should say that he fell victim to an internet scam and thought he was buying something, or whatever.

He shouldn't mention gambling, or he might lose his PayPal account, though.
