Description

On July 30th, I engaged a seller of Olympics sporting tickets on Facebook. I asked for many modes of proof of the tickets to which they provided. However, when I asked to pay for half of the tickets and sent the money, they deleted their account. They scammed me out of $70. I never received the tickets nor a refund. I opened a claim with PayPal where the transaction took places, sharing all of my conversation correspondences, and they sided with the seller. I cannot appeal. I did NOT get a refund or the tickets. The seller deleted their account on FB. I have also submitted a complaint on that platform. I am pleading for justice and a refund of my funds. Thank you.
