How can I refund a friends and family scam?

Hello! I was just scammed for 15 Euros by someone online. 
I recently purchased some in-game items and got scammed, it was a part item part money exchange.
I'd given them the items in the game as they were supposedly `trusted`.
When it came to the money side, they said if I didn't send by `Friends and Family` they'd take my items and scam me for those.
I thought nothing of it and sent the money, unsurprisingly they scammed me for my money and my items in game.
Is there anything I can do to get the money back?

Unfortunately, friends and family is not eligible for buyer protection. Money gone. Use goods and services next time.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
