<prompt> Human: Were desperate right now. She spent her whole summer saving up for this car, bought 3 MoneyPak greendot cards, loaded them each with 500 each, and sent the info to what looks like a very legitimate eBay protection program. I called PayPal because I saw that they work with this MoneyPak company, and their customer service was awesome but unable to do anything. Does anyone know a way around this? Is there a better sub to post this in? Thank you so much. Edit: The scammers e-mail address is still working. Is there anything I can do with that?  <response>: Unfortunately the money is gone.Right from their website: Green Dot is not responsible for the quality or non-receipt of any goods or services you buy using your MoneyPak.Like Western Union, there are a middle man and bear no responsibility whatsoever to either party once money has been transferred. Learn from this. If the seller was real he would have made you go through eBay itself and not just promised it was under eBays protection. If you had gone through eBay, youd have a money back guarantee, but since you didnt, its gone. Sorry :
