Can PayPal friends and family be reversed?

Yes if the sender can convince their bank and PayPal that the oayment was fraudulent.

It would be awesome to reply, not confirming any personal details but asking them specific technical questions about oil rig operations.

They will not pay you any money through PayPal or otherwise.

What normally happens is the scammers asks for your PayPal account email and will send you a fake PayPal email saying your money will not show on your PayPal account until they have received goods and PayPal are holding the money.

Set up a random email address not linked to PayPal and give him that address. You will get the email anyway.

Why risk real money with PayPal when you can use fake money in a fake email.

Not necessarily, if you work ad-hoc you could be working months on end back to back on different rigs if you are needed.

Refuse Paypal and ask for a bank transfer. If he can use Paypal he can do that as well.
Even from his oil rig...
