I unfortunately fell victim to fraudulant activity. I paid the amount due using PayPal, to a scammer, for a puppy that I was supposed to pick up at an agreed meeting place. The supposed owner, was Ciera Dawn Richardson, supposedly from Columbus, Ohio, made excuse after excuse for 4 days. My heart was broken. It was all deception and there were no puppies. I later found out she had been been prosecuted for fraud a few years ago. My bank dealt with Paypal and got all my money back minus $27.00. I soon noticed that I had a negative balance on my paypal account, and I called, spoke to a representative, and she ASSURED me this would all be dealt with, and the negative balance was due to paypal sending money to this scammer and my bank stopping payment. I understand that the money went to the person, but I was told paypal would go after this girl and not tolerate this activity, and...my balance would no longer be negative. A week later. It still is. I've sent emails, called, and nothing. I dont know what to do next. Thank you for any advice.
