Reimbursement for Money Given to Scammers

[crosdog99]

Hello everyone I was wondering, am I able to recover some sort of reimbursement from an item that I was scammed into sending and from sending gift cards? I was scammed out of a lot of money from sending to this ps4 to this scamming company based out of Nigeria.

Hello @crosdog99,

I'm sorry to hear you've run into a scam when buying or selling through PayPal. I can definitely understand how concerning this must be. PayPal can only pursue and investigate transactions sent through PayPal under the realm of our Buyer Protection Policies. Unfortunately, if you've sent an item without receiving a Goods / Services payment or have sent gift cards outside of PayPal, we would not normally be able to investigate that issue. Here's are some Common scams and how to spot them.

Thanks for reaching out and best wishes!
