recently scammed due to my own mistakes of not doing much research, he told me to send through friends and family. is there anything at all i could do to get my money back?
You mean when they clearly state on both the web and the app than when you select the friends/family option that you have 0 buyer protection if you use that option?
Then you use that option and its Paypals fault that you were then scammed.
Yeah right. 😉

Totally agree, they had the audacity to send me an email about my case, saying that because I went to my bank or card provider tland not through them, they therefore didn't have enough information to help, I'm like, I messaged PayPal first and they told me to go to my bank as there's nothing they could do! Absolute joke!
How can they be scamming you if you sent a 'gift' of money to them.
They would only scam you if you paid for goods or services and did not receive them. If that was what you were paying for then you would use that option surely?

I also got scammed. The lady told me she was having issues with it going through and gave me an alternative email to send. As soon as I caught on to what was happening, I demanded a refund and they dipped. I called my bank and explained the situation. They gave me a temporary refund but after 2 months I got a letter stating that the fraud department decided that I purposely sent it or someone who had access sent it and they are taking the temporary refund back. So now I have to loose that money 2×s!!! I don't know what to do since I am disabled and only get a certain amount each month!!!! Furious!!!
Firstly, I'm sorry to hear about what has happened. You should see the recipient's email address in your Transaction Details page.
