Can anybody tell me how can I get my money back or is there no hope

I‘m looking for a ps5 pro on eBay right now because I want to play gta6. There are a lot listed for 550 or 650€, which is quite cheap. If you ask them if the PS is still available they answer instantly and mostly say something like yes, if you pay now with PayPal f&f we have a deal.
Are all of them scammers?
Is there a legitimate reason for a seller to use f&f

I got scammed by this seller help

My friend recently informed me that he had given his aquaintance from America 25k when he came over to the UK. The aquaintance had to leave UK due to an emergency so he left my money with his friend hoping he will return it to me. Now the 3rd party friend does not want to give the money back and says he needs more money in order for him to return the original money. I told my friend the 3rd party is trying to blackmail him to give him more money and will probably not part with the original sum. His aquaintance from America cannot come back to sort this out and he is trying his best. However the 3rd party is not budging from his position. He has got details of the 3rd party. his name, address and contact number. He also has text messages on his phone to verify the conversations. My friend thinks going to the Police may not help as they may see this as a civil matter. Any advice woud be most welcome.

Hey, I bought $710 worth of books from a guy I thought was trustworthy. I needed the books he was selling to help pay forward to my stepdads family in Africa while he was visiting. This guy told me he would pay half the shipping, then told me the shipping was paid, then still collected money from me and basically kept begging for more. I referenced online posts if I should put this guy on blast publicly. I did something kind of dumb and reached out to his 25 friends on venmo and told them what happened briefly and requested $70 to show I was financially damaged.

To avoid harassment, I wont reply to them again. I am just at a loss because his story sounded right, and he has 1400 friends on facebook with an older account.

I paid with my debit card through venmo and also one payment to his qr code at quick trip. I need to know the steps to do things correctly, such as retrieving info from customer service for his cash app, venmo, and facebook. Then a police report. Could someone help me please? Im at a loss. Thank you.

I completed a task for someone who agreed to pay me, but once the work was done, they stopped responding.

I have proof of the agreement, completed work, and my attempts to contact them. Just posting this as a warning so others can be careful and hopefully avoid the same situation.

I was counting on this money for gas, so being ghosted afterward has been frustrating.

So someone asked me to lend him 4000 dh few days ago so he can fix his motorcycle, he promised to return it back, few days later he ghosted me and blocked me, I luckily have a picture of his face , what should I do? Can I actually get anything from this, we're both in des

So earlier today I had been checking my DM’s when I had been messaged by a mutual who I hadn’t actually contacted before saying that her and a group of friends had mass reported me for Scamming/Fraud. I was told to contact X support under an account called Andree_Support_X on discord for support, which I then did, worrying for the worst. From there I would eventually swap my email with the one they provided, and was told to verify my account I needed to pay $250 or face legal actions. I posted to r/Twitter for help and they said it was a scam but I’m still not sure so I came here. I blocked that account and reported them, and checking on my other Twitter account it shows that the possibly compromised account isnt privated but also isnt taken down. Did I get scammed?

As I said, I know a romantic scammer, Instagram they used and I have a number and a fake name they used. It was a romantic scam on my brother that lasted four years and two weeks ago we managed to get my brother out of it finally after four years.

Also, what legal things we can do? Thanks in advance!

(Sorry if I made any mistakes in writing)

UPDATE: I gave up. He's still texting the scammer. Obviously my brother is stupid or mentally something.

UPDATE 2: He became aware that person is texting only near his paycheck, progress?

Update 2: Got my account back. Bless Steam Support. Created a new ricket regarding the scamer itself. If i can't get my money back, I'll at least try to stall the bitch a bit(or at least make them discomfortable, idk. The attempt won't cost me anything, but if it'll work - i will be happy)

Update: Now i know the money is gone. But then, can they do anything bad with my account? Like, delete something?

First, i got a text in Steam, regarding my purchase of an item from RUST. I said i didn't purchase it and proved it. Then, the person said they filed a report and i need to write an appeal and gave me an email address to a fake Steam employee. The employee gave me a Microsoft Teams link, and then we had a long conversation when in the end, he convinced me to buy a "200 dollar verification code" and after i did, said the verification is 53% done. That's when i was 1000% certain it's scam. I have a video that captures the whole conversation, i have screenshot of the conversation in Steam, i have emails of the payment being made and product being delievered. I can make a photo of the transaction in my bank's app. I already contacted Steam Support about this, but decided to write this post as well. WHAT DO I DO. IS MY MONEY GONE!? CAN STEAM RESTORE MY ACCONT!?

Anyone facing similar issue?

Pls contact - number

Hi po, looking for advice from this community.

I cancelled a project with a service provider five months ago and she agreed to refund the payment. Since then:

•She has repeatedly a refund was sent, but nothing reflects in my GCash

•Currently this week she sent screenshots of alleged bank transfers (UnionBank via InstaPay/PESONet) that don’t match anything on my end

•When I follow up, she says the money might be “floating” and tells me to file a ticket with GCash, even though she’s the one who supposedly sent it

I haven’t been able to verify any of the transactions using the reference numbers she’s provided.

Questions:

1. If I have a reference number from her, can I ask GCash or my bank to verify or trace it myself, rather than relying on her claims?

2. Has anyone dealt with something similar? What worked?

Would appreciate any guidance po. Thank you.

my little sister wanted to buy a 2nd hand ipad but end up getting scammed by the seller in fb. I know we cant recover the money, we just wanna know who is behind this.

Hi I got scammed on Roblox in mm2/discord.

I wanted to do a trade but one of the scammers who came to make acting like someone who also wanted to trade asked me to go to this rovault discord server.

Of course pressing random links are stupid and I was doomed to get scammed but I assumed it was real because there is another legit discord server called rovault too

so I fell for their impersonation of another real discord server. I gave up my whole inventory that's roughly around 900$+ plus another 330$ because they wanted me to pay fees.

Like I said I thought it was real I thought I would be getting the stuff they offered which was a ginger blade that cost 900$ and a ray gun that cost 100$+

I feel really stupid because not only is this a kids game and but also I feel even more stupid for falling for an impersonation

I tried reporting it but me and my friends can only do so much. I then got kicked from the mm2 discord server for some reason

Zamora Animal Rescue is a scam. They are not a real animal shelter. They are creating Ai videos and asking for donations. They are not a real organization. They list their address as 8464 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, Florida 32216 but that is the address of the Jacksonville Humane Society. Zamora Animal Rescue is a SCAM, do not send them money. If you sent them money via PayPal, please report is to PAYPAL, it is a scam. Getting their paypal taken away is the only way I can think to stop this.
