Love-spell scams

I believe I've been scammed by so called love-spell casters ( yes I was desperate to get my ex back). But after the first attempt of course something was wrong, and need extra remedies. And of course more payments. And of course by Family-and-Friends... I already reported and blocked them on Whatsapp. Especially after blackmailing that something bad happens to me. Is there a possibility that I can get my money back?

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.

Just stop with it. I informed the police. Block them. And if they send messages trough other channels, Block those as well.

I blocked the sociale media. The sended a new threat. Just blocked that too. It is possible they contacted my subject, but I don't know. It is possible. But the contact between me and my contact suddenly blew up. And no contact ever. She was insanely mad at me. So it could be. But then they had to do their homework quite good.
