Got scammed by Facebook gofundme.

I was going to donate to a charity for my school and at the bottom of the picture was a link saying “donate” I clicked it and immediately 70 dollars were deducted from my account. I never entered an amount. Some one else placed the link on top of my school charity. PayPal denied the refund saying it was not authorized. Duuhhh!!! Who needs PayPal. I’m closing my account

I forgot To say that all the “help” I got from PayPal customer service was an answering machine. Bravo!!! Great customer service! NOT!

A dispute for an unauthorised transaction is telling paypal that your account was hacked and used without your consent to make that transaction.
Paypal would check IP addresses and devices and close the dispute if it was you that made the transaction....which it was.
