I've been scammed - What can I do?

Hello everyone!

 

So recently I sent money to someone as 'Paying for Goods and Services' and I was to receive an online serial key for an application for it. After I sent the money, the individual sent me a fake serial key and then went on to cut contact with me from the chatting platform to which we were conversing (Discord).

PayPal showed me that I had Buyer Protection. What can I do to get my money back?

 

Any help or advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!
