Scam Alert be careful

I recently got scammed on here. Somebody listed some parts for sale, and I told them I'd take them, and listed my phone number, which was probably my mistake. Somebody contacted me with a different PayPal address than the name in the ad, but sometimes folks use a relative, or somebody else's PayPal address, so I sent the money. They had asked all the right questions, so I thought it was legit. I didn't receive the parts, and I saw where another member had received them, so I asked for my money back, and got ghosted. I contacted PayPal and I was surprised they wouldn't do anything for me, because they supposedly hadn't sent the money yet. So now I am dealing with my credit card company.
The scammer went by Beatrice Kanda
Long story but be on the lookout!
