Possibly a scam

I got an ad to play bingo online, stating it was free to join. The ad said I could win cash and needed my PayPal details, when I put that in $10USD was deducted, and I was unable to withdraw this back. PayPal refunded my money after I opened a dispute, but just a lesson learned not to be conned by “free cash” I really like being part of the seniors discount club.

Ah, dear... This is just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry to hear about that!

As a side note, we also have a bingo game here in the SDC, and we give away vouchers instead of cash to help seniors. I can reassure you that we would never scam any of the members, and plenty of them have actually won already! :) You can give it a go if you're interested, but if you're still a little wary, there is absolutely no pressure.

You can check out the game here: https://seniorsdiscountclub.com.au/threads/the-official-bingo-thread.20575/
 
I don’t buy money in any games I play on FaceBook not even ones for words
with friends, I have been hacked on my bank accounts with small amounts taken out
then to bigger ones ,so I have decided to take all my money out just leave enough to keep the account open ,banks ,credit unions should be able to stop fraud on our accounts
 
I use Words With Friends but never buy anything prompted to. Try to watch and even 'suspect' any asks of my online 'everything' like a hawk. Hope it works.
