I got scammed

[Nyzox]

I have a problem with a guy on the internet who got all my personal information, including my name, age, and address. He told me to send him 40 euros, and he would stop all activities involving me. I sent the 40 euros, but 30 minutes later, I filed a dispute, and it was declined. I don't know why. I’m not working, and I don’t have much money, so 40 euros is a big amount for me.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

How did you send the funds ie which paypal option did you select?

Secondly how did you fund the paypal payment ie which funding source?

@kernowlass 

I send the fund with my card and i was forced to use friend and family

No one can 'force' you to use the friends/family option, you didn't have to either use that option OR send any funds at all if you didn't want to.

However >>>

A friends / family (or gift payment) is intended as a transfer of funds from family or friends to one another. For this reason, there is no processing fee when payment is made with bank or PayPal balance.
However as it is a gift payment, there is also no buyer protection as no goods or services should have been exchanged.

If he was not a close mate or family member you should never use that option as it enables the seller to evade paying his Paypal fees and negates your buyer protection at the same time.

You would also not be able to open a dispute (apart from one citing an unauthorised transaction), which would be automatically closed as you did authorise the initial payment.

Be careful as using that option for purchasing goods is against Paypal rules and can lead to account limitation.

If you funded your Paypal payment via a credit card then contact your card issuer and see if they will help you but unfortunately they may decline as well as it was a gift payment.

You could have just said NO. 

Wouldn't think he could do a lot with just your name, age and addy.
