Hello I sent money with paypal to a artist on Boosty, they made a fake account with an artists name and faked to be them.
I sent them $85 dollars and have not heard back from them, ignoring me and they changed their username, because its a scam.
What can I do? boosty took auto payment when i didnt even see that.
So opening a case will be slim how do I open a case for this to get my money back??
on boosty they say no refunds on donations and thats only way to pay them and only payment they take there under that. what can I do please help

Sadly paypal does not offer buyer protection on donations.
If you funded your paypal payment via a credit card you could talk to your card issuer and see if they will help you with a chargeback?
