An Instagrammer was messaging me about a workout program and supplementation program that she offered. She claimed she had years of experience and was a professional in the field. Her Instagram had a bunch of photos, followers, and likes. I was confident this person would be able tot help me make workout plans, so I went ahead and asked her how much she charged. While the price wasn't cheap, like aforementioned, i was surely confident that it meant quality. She asked the best way to pay her, and I suggested Paypal. I asked her for her name and location so I could send her money, her website and everything was on her Instagram. I went ahead and paid for the service, however, once I logged back on Instagram her page was deleted. The email she provided to me, bounced back, and all phone calls I made were declined. I asked Paypal to helped me get my funds back, to no avail (They said they can't help). I am very frustrated that someone could be so manipulative. I lost too much money, and I am probably going to be limited in the use of Paypal service for the lack of empathy or acknowledgement toward such divisive actions.
