hi, please help me I was a victim of a fraud, I was hired as virtual assistant by a employer, he hire me to convert money to btc, as he said in my country is less cost when converting it here than in italy or something in europe. after i transact and send all the btc back to him, a alert came in my paypal the next day then a buyer said that he want a payback, I dont know what to do.. I already send all the money to my employer.. I also check the employer IP address on email and as checked there are many comment on the IP that the IP is use in many scam or illegal activities , and I think the buyer is also a scammer I think they are same person trying to get money from me. My employer and The person who is reporting me on paypal is the same person.

So you agreed to convert funds using your paypal account for a complete stranger and now are surprised it was a scam? 🙄
Advice is voluntary.
