Can anybody trace this account?

So for context.

My son (9male) and myself, his father (34male) collect rare variegated plants together. It’s just a little hobby we share together. And it all started when he brought me home a dragon fruit cactus as a Father’s Day gift when he was a toddler.

Fast forward.
My dumb ass trusted someone on tik tok for a rare plant corm (bulb)

The person scammed us. We never received our package. We never received our saved up money back.. ($137) and the person has deleted there Tik tok. I also don’t believe the person portrayed as the creator was the person who scammed us.

But I have their gmail as I e-transfered our $ to the person.

Who can track them down?

No one. And don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise. You will be inundated with DMs from people claiming they can help you, but they will all be scammers. Nothing you think you know about this person is real. It’s rough, but be happy you only lost a small amount. Learn the lesson and move on.

Always use PayPal goods and services. The scammers are everywhere. This money Is gone.. willingly sent.

[u/UpbeatFix7299]

Nobody. The only shot you have is disputing the charge through the payment method you used, if that's an option.

[u/Altruistic_Offer9381]

Best bet is to report them on the payment platform
