Paypalsucks.com uses the paypal logo. They've been sued by paypal and won.
Being sued over it is probably a sure thing, for all sorts of things including defamation and infringement. Unless he's got the money to defend it, it's a better idea to just let it go. Being scammed sucks, but I doubt it's worth the trouble that this sounds like it's going to bring. The final legality of it is moot unless he's willing to go the distance. If he's got links to anything or is profiting from it in any way whatsoever, he's sunk from the start.

I am not a lawyer and nothing I've posted here today constitutes legal advice of any kind.
Take it for what it's worth. I've been sued before.
