    Not easily - depends on the company and whether it is an out and out scam and you will never see it again or just a dodgy but real company who will try to put you off claiming it back.
    If its they latter then do persist with it, send them a letter asking for the money to be refunded to you. You are entitled to all your money back (except for a £5 admin fee they can charge). However despite you being entitled to it, that doesn't mean it will be easy to get. Might need several letters before you see it again.

    its not about falling for it, its about desperate situations and people (including myself) thinking its all above board.
