That's bad luck. But you'll have learned from the experience and will be more clued-up when looking at the next one. Good luck!

Did you (hopefully) pay with a credit card, or at least as a minimum pay any deposit with a credit card ?

Let us all know how it goes with the chargeback. Hopefully it will work out well for you, and that the timescale for a satisfactory resolution isn't too long.
