Got Scammed with Friends and Family and Goods and ...

Hello,   So I got scammed quite a few months ago, and I issued a few claimbacks on my payments (Which suprisingly, got instantly accepted.)

I have pages upon pages of information etc.      ... View more

Hi,   So I recently decided to buy BTC and got scammed 150$,  I then requested a refund, no answer from the seller UNTIL I asked PayPal to step in, PayPal agreed on his side and now I'm stuck with a loss of 150$... I have emails, everything, the seller didn't respond after I sent the 150$   It's basically the only money I have and now it's gone... is there no way I can get this back?   I paid with a debit card, put the details in the note (Time, his email etc.) and then PayPal declines my request.. 150$ is a lot for me and I really don't want it in some scammers hands     ...
