Possible phony bus trip to Louisiana

[momnpop1962]

Has anyone else paid $75 per person for a bus trip leaving 4/22 to Louisiana? I have tried and failed to contact the person I paid for the trip.  Just wondering if anyone else has been scammed by this.  And if there is any way we can get our money back

Whether you get your funds back depends on what option you used to send the funds and the funding source you used with paypal.

Will you explain your reply a little bit better?  I sent the money from our checking account.

 Hello @momnpop1962,

Thanks for reaching out to the PayPal Community forums with your inquiry. I thank you for being involved and I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation you're having with this bus trip payment. What @kernowlass meant was that PayPal does offer buyer protection for payments made via "goods and services" but not for "friends and family" payments. 

You may check the payment type by clicking on the payment in your transaction details.  Here is a link PayPal’s protection policies for your reference: https://goo.gl/HZVkpS.
