Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam Kentucky

- - I sent my daughter - dollars through my PayPal to hers. I did this while on the phone with her and she immediately received an email confirming I had sent - dollars per PayPal. I assumed everything was fine since she got this email. - -, 2016 she calls me and has n't received this money in her PayPal account so I went online to check what my transactions looked like. I found that this money was sent to a - - PayPal account. called PayPal immediately and their response was it happens all the time because I used her telephone number to send the money and this - - has the same phone number on his account and I should have sent this per her email so that would n't happen again but nothing on their site says this is a danger and to use email account instead of phone number. I asked them to stop this transaction before my money got in his account and they told me it was to late they could n't do anything until this money was in his account. I talked to a lady named - who is a transaction specialist


me. she told me that if he did n't all she could do is do a chargeback on the money and go from their. My problem was that she said she would keep me informed and she would try to get this money back to my account if she could. I do n't feel like PayPal is doing anything to get this money back to me. I have received no emails from them about what is going on. I feel like I let them know we had a problem and before it was in his PayPal account. I just do n't understand why she received the confirmation email and the money went to the wrong account. I need help from someone to see what happened. and why they could n't get this money back to me. I cant help but believe that this - - found a way to copy my daughters phone number to get this money. i tried to email him myself and my message was returned to me reading that that email address was not a valid address.
