Q: i sent a friend $100 over paypal and now she refuses to pay. paypal won't help me. what are my options?
i sent her the money because she was desperate, she said she lost her wallet and was stuck at the airport and is diabetic so she needed to buy insulin. this was on monday and she said she would give me my money back that same evening after she arrived home. now she refuses to pay and won't even answer me. because i sent the money through paypal they said there are unwilling to help me. i'm afraid if i go to the police they won't help me either. the only proof that i have is the transaction done through facebook over their paypal integration
A: This is not a criminal matter; you are attempting to collect a debt. You can file a civil suit in the Justice of the Peace court
