Unable to receive payment from DiagnosUs

[Schism]

I've received an email from DiagnosUs (diagnosus.com) letting me know I've won $26, but as soon as I click Claim Your Money, it gives an error and for some reason I'm unable to collect it. Any ideas why it may be happening? Could it be because I live in Armenia?

The option to 'receive' paypal payments is sadly not available in your country.
You can only 'send' payments for purchases.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.

Thanks!

A stupid question, it won't work either if I use VPN, right?

Nope and its sadly against paypal rules to use a VPN to try and evade their country specific rules.

If someone I know tries to click Claim Your Money from another country, will it work? Is it OK if I've already clicked Claim Your Money (without the link leading me anywhere) several times myself? I mean does the link expire on the first click or it can be clicked multiple times?
