Yes you got scammed they create bunch of unverified accounts in Paypal to get money. Even you open dispute they simply add another Paypal to get money from others

Procedure to know:
1) First you need somebody's email address...
( Let's use potato@potato.com as an example. )

2) Go to PayPal, and log in

3) Copy and paste this url:

https://www.p*aypal.com/verified/pal=username@emailhost.com

4) Replace "username@emailhost.com" with the person's email address
( In the example, it'd be

https://www.p*aypal.com/verified/pal=username@emailhost.com

)

5) The resulting page will show whether or not that email is linked to a verified PayPal account.
( It will show potato@potato.com is NOT Verified in bold, red letters. )
