Woman concerned about pay app

I was tricked into sending money through an app, but my bank won’t dispute the charge because I “authorized” it. Is there any way to get my money back?

You didn’t get hacked. You didn’t have your card stolen. You sent the money yourself, because someone convinced you to. Now the bank says the charge was authorized, so there’s nothing they can do. Unfortunately, this is one of the hardest types of fraud to reverse, but “hard” doesn’t mean “impossible”.
