Emergency fundraising! (I got scammed)

This is gonna be a long post, so if you don't wanna read all of it, here's the summary:

I fell for a bank scam call while grieving the loss of my grandma and the election results. Now I owe PayPal 900 dollars and have no means of paying it.

I hate asking for money, but if anyone could please contribute with absolutely anything, I'd be endlessly grateful. We're in a rough financial spot at the moment, so this is our only option.

Any donations can be sent to

About 2 weeks ago, right before those harrowing election results, my grandma passed. With all that was going on, on top of my full time job and other life responsibilities and struggles, I was pretty rattled.

It was then I got a call "from the bank".

They were friendly and familiar, and asked me questions that sounded official, claiming my credit card info had been stolen, and making me go through different steps to resolve the issue.

(Looking back, it's frustrating how obviously scammy this was, but at the time I was under so much stress I truly didn't notice. Or rather I did, but dismissed it as paranoia.)

They had me try and send money through Zelle, where there was a request for 900usd. Since it didn't go through, they tried through PayPal, which also failed. They then told me to not use the account for 24 hours so they would try again the next day.

(Again, I know there were burning red flags, but unfortunately I didn't fully process it until it was too late.)

It got even more ridiculous, as they called the next day, asking me to redo all the steps and even demanding I go to an ATM.

I said I couldn't. They claimed my debit was "infiltrated" and that I had to mail them my card.

It was at this point I told my mom about all this, hung up, called the bank, froze my account, removed the account from PayPal, and changed my password.

I thought that would be the end of it... Until the next day, when I checked my PayPal and found my balance to be -900usd, meaning the failed transaction went through after all.

Another one for 800 was also pending, but luckily I managed to cancel it in time.

Immediately, I reported the transaction as a scam. However, PayPal said they couldn't return my money since "the transaction had been approved" and that "no unusual activity had been detected". I have called my bank once more, but they say it's out of their hands entirely.

We are in the middle of a move, my husband is coming to visit later this week.

We were already very tight for money, since my husband's boss was sick for half the year, meaning he got no work before July. And just last month we had to pay 2000 in lawyer fees for an unrelated issue, so timing could absolutely not be worse.

We do not have the financial means to cover this debt. I really don't know what we'll do now. Normally, I absolutely hate asking for money, but if anyone could spare anything, it would be more than welcome. We'd be immensely grateful.
