Hi @jet77,
Welcome to the PayPal Community!
I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. I understand how frustrating and concerning this would be.
Unfortunately, there is no buyer protection when a payment is sent using Friends and Family. This is why we suggest only sending a payment using Friends and Family to someone that you know and trust.
If the payment was funded using a bank account or credit card, I suggest reaching out to them to see what options you may have. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
Joy
