It's a scam-figure it out. You're exactly the type of person scammers look for-incredibly naive and can't tell a scam from something legit. There is no money-there never was. Read Slim's post above-it explains everything
Quote:What should I do if I pay 250$ to them
If you sent them the money, kiss it goodbye.
You have been scammed.
Since you fell for one scam, you are on the "easy mark" list for other scammers, and will receive even more invitations to be scammed. Suggest you print out the following:
Things to believe:
• "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."
• If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government ◄- ◄-
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet or hear on the phone is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or a different famous software company, or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you Vanilla Card, GreenDot, MoneyGram, Western Union or use any gift/money card to send money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Geeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites, or a statement that your computer is infected.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!
• The number you see on your Caller ID may not be the number of the person who called you!
• The Do Not Call List works as intended. It is NOT a call blocker!

Sorry, the answer is "no". They cannot recover your money.
Please read Tamianth's earlier post, to learn how to report the scam.
However, if you sent the money via Vanilla Card, GreenDot, MoneyGram, Western Union or used any gift/money card to send money to a scammer, the money is gone.
