As a result of my experience, I now avoid using Paypal, and would recommend others to also refrain, as it seems Paypal does not care if the operators who use them are genuine or scammers. I was very persistent and eventually did get a partial refund but wasted perfectly good hours of my life doing so. i also rejigged other payments to streaming services etc, so as to not be using Paypal. Paypal should not facilitate known scammers, and while they do I will no longer use their services and would encourage everyone else to do the same. This experience has also taught me a valuable lesson about not believing what you see or read. If something pops up on you Facebook feed, another social media site, or even in the middle of a game, DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THEM. One or two are probably okay, but I now realise that most of them are tricksters. For this little old lady it was a difficult, expensive lesson to learn. But I hope I have.
