Okay so I messed up by trusting this guy I met a few days ago, I met him online and he seemed so nice and we were just chatting and then we started talking about finance and I brought up my disappointment that I won't be able to afford much for my nephew this Christmas and he says to me "hey I do this cash flipping thing where if you pay me £20 I'll give you a couple hundred back and I'll invest your £20 in stocks and make that money back" so me being foolish I sent him my last £20 that I had and he just blocked me any now I'm left broke, I tried to get the money back through reporting him but it I messed up somewhere in the request and I was declined. Some cruel people in this world...

Sorry but really??? He'll accept £20 and give you back £200 and you believed him.  😐

 

Did you send it via the friends/family option or goods/services (I suspect the former).

How did you fund the paypal payment ie which linked funding source?
