Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. I had a friend who I worked at the Car Show with. We entered in every single draw there and sure enough, I get a call a week later saying I had won a free cruise. Over the next 5 minutes I get told of all the wonderful, awesome things I would be receiving.... 7 nights, all inclusive, free rental car, blah, blah, blah..... oh but they needed a $200 dollar deposit right then over the phone for the rental car. At this point I promptly hung up the phone. Of course, the next time I see my friend from the car show he's all happy cause he won a free cruise. This was two years ago and he has yet to go....
Chalk it up to a learning experience. Could have been better, could have been a lot worse though. Heck, you may actually get what you paid for or the transaction might be voided too. I was somewhat scammed awhile back (I recieved what I payed for, but it wasn't exactly of the quality I was led to believe) and since then I generally try to avoid transactions along the lines of the conversation you posted. Probably cost me a good deal or two over the years, but I like to think I've more than made up for it by not getting scammed.
Hope it works out for ya!
