Hi! So I kinda did something dumb, I sent money to someone through friends and family to help pay for a friend, but ended up getting scammed and blocked. Anything I can do to get that money back?

Sadly not as there is no buyer protection for friends/family ie gift payments.
You could try your card issuer if you funded the payment via a credit card but they may decline as well for the same reason.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
