visa payment to fraudulent paypal account

I didnt have enough funds in my paypal account so my girlfriend used her visa card to make a purchase. We have since discovered this was a fraudulent account, kinerco.com, and we lost €81 but are we protected and can we claim this money back or do we just learn from this mistake? We tried contacting the company on 4 occasions but 7 days after payment made we realised the scam. Any help gratefully received. TIA. Mark

Hi @maxmoves

 

Sorry to hear of the trouble with this payment. 

 

We do offer PayPal Buyer Protection to help in situations like this. If you're having trouble with a merchant, we recommend filing a dispute to request a refund from the merchant. 

 

I hope this information helps!


Thanks,
